It finally works - although I still don't understand exactly.

I ran Xconfigurator and chose "unsupported VGA card" instead of the one 
at the end of the list, then managed to write a XF86Config-4 file. 
XF86Config only seems to work for 3.3.6. Changing the driver to vesa, it 
works.

It seems weird that none of the configuration programs can do this 
properly. Anyway, thanks.
