I have a Diamond Stealth64 VRAM w/ 2MB and a NEC6FG 21" monitor. My
device section from /etc/XF86Config is:
================
Section "Device"
Identifier "ds64v"
VendorName "diamond"
BoardName "Stealth64VRAM"
#VideoRam 2048
# Use Option "nolinear" if the server doesn't start up correctly
# (this avoids the linear framebuffer probe). If that fails try
# option "nomemaccess".
#
# Use Option "sw_cursor" if the server completely locked up
# several times while you're moving the mouse.
#
# Refer to /usr/X11R6/lib/doc/README.S3, and the XF86_S3 man page.
Ramdac "bt485"
Clockchip "icd2061a"
EndSection
================
The key was setting up the correct Ramdac and Clockchip as listed in the
device configuration file (unfortunately, for the life of me, I can't
remember its name).
This file saved me both on my DS64V and on an old Diamond Stealth Pro VLB
on another machine.
Goodbye, and good luck.
