Ok, so you did get it working, good. I wasn't sure because I didn't hear from you. I think you should be able to do better with that card- better res. and more colors.
There are some notes about this driver in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.i810:
"This driver currently only works for Linux/ix86 and recent versions of FreeBSD. It requires the agpgart kernel support, which is included in Linux kernels 2.3.42 and higher, and FreeBSD 4.1 and higher."
With mine, once it had the proper modules loaded, it looked really great.
