This is your problem.  XFree86 does not yet support the ViRGE
chipset which this board uses in other than SVGA 640x480 mode.

You have two options.  XInside has a (commercial) server which 
supports this chipset.  Or, wait for XFree86 3.2, which claims
to support this chipset.  http://www.xfree86.org claims 3.2
will be available "at the end of October."
