I also have the Diamond Viper 770, I couldn't get it to work under Slink
either (but there are drivers for NVidia RIVA TNT2 card that you can
download from www.nvidia.com, perhaps they work), if you install Potato
however and run xf86config it works (at least with me). Just as soon as
you get the question if you want to take a look at the cards database
answer no, don't select any Clockchip and don't let xf86config probe your
clocksetting. That way all X works fine with me.
To find out where your mouse is at you could run gpmconfig, that should
find it (at least, as long as you don't own a usb mouse... that won't work
with any stable kernel, perhaps you can get it to work with a 2.3.xx
kernel they should have usb support).
