Configuring X Windows for S3 Virge GX2 AGP

Has anybody been able to configure X Windows to run successfully on an
S3 Virge GX2 AGP video card?

I am using Red Hat 5.1 (Manhattan).  The card is a "no-name" (Genesis),
have tried the generic S3 Virge GX2 entry from the card database (296 I
think) and just about every conceivable combination of SDAC etc.

The closest I have come is two images of the desktop side-by-side on the
screen, which suggests a scan problem.  My monitor is a Viewsonic 17GA
with 4mb.

Red Hat's response to the problem is "your card is not supported"!!

Any help will really be appreciated.

Regards
Tim Jones
