Try to run the program SuperProbe (must be in /usr/X11R6/bin if I remember
correctly). But having written that, you'll probably have a pretty new
motherboard with a chipset that SuperProbe won't recognize. 

Second best: Just go for the standard SVGA driver and try 640x480 at 8 bpp.
If that works try 800x600 at 16 bpp. If you got it running first solve your
other hardware problems and if you have nothing better to do on a Sunday
afternoon only then look into your hardware spec deeper.

Hope this helps.
