You haven't said what the problem is.

Does this card really have an S3 SDAC??  I'm not aware of any 964 cards
that do, and the XFree86 server certainly does not support this
combination which is why the server reports your ramdac type as
"normal".  What does SuperProbe report for your card, and what does the
server report for the ramdac type when you omit the ramdac line in your
XF86Config?  If all else fails, look at the board and see what the
ramdac part number is.  Where did the above MemBase number come from?
The server thinks it is located at 0xF3000000.
