You have a Cirrus Logic GD5434.  In xf86config's card database, select the
entry:

25  Cirrus Logic GD543x                               CL-GD5430/5434

>(--) SVGA: videoram: 1024k

You have 1024K of video RAM.  Make the appropriate selection when prompted
by xf86config.

Also, when selecting the X server, choose option 5, "Use server based on
card definition".

Hope this helps some.
