Try running /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config. This will allow you to force
options. Otherwise, use Generic Multisync and that should work. We've
used those cards before and they shouldn't give you much trouble. You may
also want to manually configure the memory versus letting it detect it.
This might allow you to get the higher resolutions.
