There is a new function in X to tell it to configure itself. Have you
tried that yet?
XFree86 -configure
After that I would try xf86cfg, because it is a graphical approach and
easier to work with.
Also if that doesn't help, check the readme files to see if your chipset
is supported under a
different name. Or check here to see if it even supported:
