When I tried to bring up the SVGA X server, it seems no matter what I do or tell it about my system, it complains about my "unrecognized" video card and immediately proceeds to assume that I have only 64k of video RAM - nothing I've found seems to override its "automatic" disgust! Also, isn't there supposed to be some "on-line" assistance for X server, some man pages or something? I can't find anything. I don't want to get another card until I know this one CANNOT be made to work by enabling some simple "escape" option.
