I have this videocard too and I managed to get this resolution with a
color depth of 16, but it gave me problems too. The display was always
a bit too small horizontally, and much too small vertically, but I could
use the monitor's controls to correct this.
I'm still stuck with potato, so things might have changed with the new
xserver-mach64.
Is it really 2MB of memory? Mine states it has 4MB.
I remember, I used xvidtune to finetune the values for the modelines,
and I used xf86config to set up the XF86Config file.
I give you the essential entries for my /etc/X11/XF86Config just to give
you an impression of how it might look like to work for you:
---{in the Monitor section}---
# 1024x768 @ 75.5 Hz, 62.13 kHz hsync
Modeline "1024x768" 85 1024 1088 1208 1368 768 800 803 823
---{in the Screen sections}---
# The accelerated servers (... Mach64)
Section "Screen"
Driver "accel" # not ATI, but don't ask me why... I forgot...
Device "ATI Mach64 3D Rage IIC"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultColorDepth 16
[...cut...]
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "640x480" "1024x768" # so I can switch with ctrl-alt-+
Viewport 0 0
#Virtual 1280 1024
End Subsection
[...cut...]
End Section
I'm afraid, this might not be very helpful to you, as I still have
xfree86-3.3.6... Hopefully you found at least some hints that might
take you further.
Kind regards,
Andreas.
