I got one of these to play.  Use the SVGA server.  

According to the docs, the card is very picky about which mode lines it
will run.  It would not work at all with the old modeline that I used with
the Matrox card (till it died :( ).  Here is the line that I am running:

# name                clock   horizontal timing  vertical timing    flags
#Modeline  "1280x1024"  135 1280 1312 1456 1712  1024 1027 1030 1064
Modeline  "1280x1024"  135 1280 1312 1416 1664   1024 1027 1030 1064

/usr/share/doc/xserver-svga/README.S3V.gz, where I stole the above line
from, gives a few more that might work.
