Dunno about virtual screen, but use this device entry for your card:
====================
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 Ramdac and Clockchip are what made/broke it for me. For the rest, I
just used the xf86config program as made sense.
