There have been recent postings from Jeff Palmer about a graphics card 
he bought that sounds a lot like yours.  If it's really the same (Jeff?),
then it is supported in XFree86 3.3.3, which is on the latest BSware CD.

If you want a copy of BSware, please let me know a couple days before
the meeting you plan on attending and I'll make a copy for you.
