by I have spent ages getting this to work on my old
LapTop and would like others to spend less time :-)
In particular, I had to alter the Vert/Horiz timings
to get 16 aBit display at 1024/768.
Herewith my XF86Config file which works for above Chipset
either with RedHat 7.x or Mandrake 8.x using XFree86 4.1.x
