This is almost identical to my setup.  I have a Diamond Stealth 64, 2 MB
VRAM card with the S3 968 chipset and a ViewSonic 17PS monitor.  You will 
need to use the S3 server if you have a 968 card.  If you have one of the 
newer Virge chipset cards, you will need to use the S3V (or
something like that) server in XFree86-3.2.  I used xf86config to set
it up first and then fine tuned it with xvidtune once it was running.  

Cheers,
