Try to add the following line:
Option "linear"
to the file /etc/X11/XF86Config, under the 'Section "Device"' line
(see 'man XF86Config' for description of XF86Config file
format and what are sections in it).
And look at the file /usr/doc/X11/README.cirrus, this file
describes XFree86 support for different Cirrus Logic video
chips. There is stated that for VL-bus (you have a 486 computer
with VL-bus, don't you?), for 16bpp mode, linear addressing
is required.
On the other hand, if you have a PCI-bus computer, try
istead to add line
Option "nolinear"
to the 'Section "Device"' - quite possible that your XWindow
complains about this...
