I have an identical setup, and am running the XF86_SVGA server with 32 bit
color. I had some difficulty getting this set up, but it runs fine now. I
used XF86Setup to tweak everything, and then when I was done there was a
little program (can't remember the name) which allowed you to adjust the
image on the monitor (left, right, up, down, etc.)
If this isn't sufficient, give me more information, and/or I can send you
copies of my setup files, etc.
