Frank, THe usual disclaimer here about frying the card and monitor etc. I have a Diamond Viper 16MB card with the Riva TNT chipset. It was also listed as an NVIDIA 4.0 chipset. I got X to run using the Diamond listing with the Nvidia chipset if I remember correctly. You could try that. Of course if the video is wacky or the monitor starts whining, turn it OFF immediately. I don't know if that helps, but I think it is the Nvidia chipset you are looking for.
