First video: Super-VGA
Chipset: Tseng ET4000 (Port Probed)
Memory: 256 Kbytes
RAMDAC: Generic 8-bit pseudo-color DA
What does SuperProbe say about your video card??
The SVGA server can only see that you have got 64k video ram.
Try uncomment out the line:
#VideoRam2048

I have been trying all day to get XFree86 3.3.2.3 running, but have simply
had no luck getting any resolution other than 320x200. I would like it to
