Starting X Display Server



I am unable to optimally use my display card and monitor in Linux
X server works in 4 bit mode only.
Using the Quickstart Guide from XFree86 viz.
ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/current/doc/QuickStart.doc
I figured out the use of XF86Setup. It runs fine (infact it runs using a 800-600 resolution and what seems to be 16 bit color ).
The setup goes OK but the X server does not startup. Here is an exact yank of what appears on the screen. I follow all instructions obediently.

My monitor is a Philips 104S
My card is the following
*******Begin card details ***********
OEM string: Acer Labs. Inc. SVGA-M3147-0001
Version:    VBE 1.2 with 2048 Kb memory
 
 Graphics Chip: Acer Labs M3147V PCI with 2 MB
 RAM DAC:       ICS5342 GENDAC, S3 86c708 GENDAC 24 bit DAC
 Clock Chip:    ICS 5340/1/2 GENDAC Integrated Clock

********End Card Details*****

Where seems to be the problem ?
How do I get X to start up in the display mode as is being used by the XF86Setup itself??

Please help..
