XF86Setup (at least under X3) uses the VGA16 server; which is supposed to work with *any* PC video card. it's limited to 640x480@60Hz with only 16 colors, with no acceleration of any sort. I don't know if it works under X4... haven't used it in a long time. if it does, it probably uses the 'vga' driver. so if you're still running X 3.3.6, and want *some* display (cruddy tho it may be), symlink /etc/X11/X to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_VGA16. if you're running X 4, edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file, and change the video card driver to 'vga'.
