I am.
My own text mode is 100x37@81Hz. My settings:
--- snip ---
ChipSet "S3"
ClockChip "S3Virge"
Option "XFAST_DRAM"
# The following line might be what you're missing...
Option "S3_HSText"
option "16color"
# You may be missing this as well -- apparently, you must make sure to
# load fonts at high frequencies
Option "LoadFont"
FontProg "/usr/bin/setfont"
FontPath "/usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts"
# The following font is not in the package -- I grabbed it off sunsite's
# console fonts pack.
FontSelect "sans-16" 8x16 9x16 8x15 9x15
# The following fonts were kept as default -- I don't use them
FontSelect "Cyr_a8x14" 8x14 9x14 8x13 9x13
FontSelect "8x12alt.psf" 8x12 9x12 8x11 9x11
FontSelect "Cyr_a8x8" 8x8 9x8 8x7 9x7
FontSelect "Cyr_a8x32" 8x32 9x32 8x31 9x31
FontProg "/usr/bin/setfont -u def.uni"
HorizSync 30-66
VertRefresh 50-110
DefaultMode "80x25"
"80x25" 28.3 640 680 776 800 400 412 414 449 font 9x16
#
# This is the mode I use. I had to mess with the first, second, fourth
# and fifth values to center. I basically tried until I got something
# reasonable, so I can't really give some hints besides keep a console
# with "stm 80x25" always ready at the prompt, and your finger on the
# monitor's power off switch (just in case you give bad settings)
#
"custom" 55 800 878 922 1042 615 615 616 650 font 8x16

I hope that will be of some use to you.
