Try this:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Stealth 64"
    VendorName  "Diamond"
    BoardName   "Stealth 64 Video Vram"
    VideoRam    2048
   #Option "slow_vram"
# Use Option "nolinear" if the server doesn't start up correctly
# (this avoids the linear framebuffer probe). If that fails try
# option "nomemaccess".
#
# Refer to /usr/X11R6/lib/doc/README.S3, and the XF86_S3 man page.
    Ramdac      "ibm_rgb525"
    Clockchip   "ibm_rgb525"

RAMDAC could very possibly be a TI3026.
Mine is,

Look up man XFree86 for -probeonly option for the XF86_S3 server.
There is more info in some of the XF86 documents.
For example:
XF86_S3 -probeonly
This will list all the parameters that the server finds from the card.
A version of the probeonly output generated by the RedHat xconfig
called:  
/tmp/probe

This will also read the XF86Config file and the output is useful in
debug of the XF86Config file. That is it will tell you if it does not
accept any of the parameters.

You also need to set the display parameters to suit your monitor.
You should be careful with those parameters -- particularly if you try
to drive the monitor with too high a frequency. The documentation warns
that you may damage your monitor.

I would email my XF86Config which is set up for a
Innovation MAG MXPT1-17, but the system here could not find your
internet address.
This monitor is a multi-sync monitor upto 135MHz dot clock.
