We've had some problems with this on one of our machines.  I believe
the chipset on that particular card is the Weitek P9100, which I
believe is as of yet unsuported by XFree86.  I think your only bet is
to use the SVGA server; however, we've only been able to get that to
work in 320x200!  I've still got some serious banging to do on it,
though.
