I was responding specifically to your apparent desire to get 132x43
text mode.  The card I referred to in an agp slot needed to be 
replaced with the older card into a pci slot.
As far as X - I believe I got 800x600 8bpp working with a 1 meg S3
virge once a few months ago. It seemed trivial at the time - making
sure options VESA was in the kernel build and making the appropriate
choices in the x windows set up.

I'm 100% in text mode with fbsd - don't do windows.  :)
