Subject: Diamond Stealth 64DRAM Config HELP!

I'm trying to configure a Diamond Stealth 64DRAM 2MB for
use with XFree86-3.1.  It's a PCI bus card, the DOS stats
say 'S3 integrated DAC'.  It is fairly new (Dec. 94).

I realize Diamond isn't very popular in BSD, but I can't
get any resolution to work other than plain VGA (640x480x16). 
I've tried running config for XF86 for both SVGA and 
Accel S3.  I tried to add various tags to the config to
identify the chipset, clockset, etc. to no avail.

I'm running FreeBSD, Release 2.0 grabbed from ftp.cdrom.com
with XFree86-3.1.

Any help would be appreciated.  I would be quite happy with
just plain old SVGA without any acceleration.
