	I'm not sure I understand the problem, so take this with a grain of
salt.  I don't think the SVGA server would use the vga16 section in
XF86Config (I could be wrong here).  Look at the first line in
/etc/X11/Xserver; are you running the SVGA server or the VGA16 server? 
If you are running the SVGA server, try commenting out the vga16 section
of XF86Config and see if the SVGA server runs or spits out an error
message.
