According to /usr/doc/X11/README.S3V:
o 32bpp is limited to a width of < 1024 pixels. (1024x768 is not possible,
even if you have the memory.) This is a hardware limit of ViRGE chips.
Are you running at a lower resolution, or are the docs out of date? I
have a Stealth 3D 2000 (4MB), and I was never able to get it to run in
1024x768/32bpp, and I assumed based on the docs that I wouldn't be able
to. When I tried running X in this configuration, I got an error
message that seemed to confirm the problem that was mentioned in the
docs. Please email me the appropriate sections of you XF86Config, if
you could, so I could try getting 32bpp working on my system. Thanks in
advance.
BTW, the program you mention is named xvidtune.
