This excerpt is from XF86Config. My card is an 815 and didn't work with 
several distributions, but seems to work with RH or Fedora.
(800 MHz P III)

I was worried that it stopped working with xorg originally.

Have you tried running system-config-display to try to get x working? 
There might be documentation on dumping system-config-xfree86, but I 
didn't realize it until after X wouldn't start.
My file was generated by system-config-display as root user.
