Are you sure the video card is supported?
Have you tried another window manager besides gnome? Maybe kde,
blackbox, anything else. Maybe pull out any other isa/pci cards and do
the install with only the video card, so there will be no chance of
conflicts from other cards. Try to get ahold of another video card, a
differant brand or model, to try.
