Cirrus Logic CL-DG624X and XServers



I just discovered last night that my old Extensa-450 Laptop can run X 
with Fluxbox just fine despite still only having 12MB of RAM.  However, 
the xsetup.sh program that Damn Small Linux uses only offers a choice 
of 2 servers:  Xvesa and Xfbdev.

Xfbdev does not seem to work for me, but Xvesa does.  The problem is, 
Xvesa only gives me at best, 640x480 - 16 Colors, even though I know 
(from the WfW side of the system) that I can get up to 256 colors.

The video controller on the MB is a Cirrus Logic CL-DG 624X.  So, what 
driver should I modprobe to get this set up properly so that I can get 
at least 640x480 - 8-Bit color?
