I had the same problem (with a different card).
Assuming you have chosen parameters that your card
can support (always worth checking!), try selecting
the "no" response to the question "Use kernel

The reason why I didn't succeed with xf86config was that it created
/etc/X11/XF86Config and not /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.
