The solution is to run Xconfigurator, and then manually choose the driver to be VESA. It works (not very well, but OK-ish). Choose 1MB RAM and 8 bit color at 1024 res. WFM but YMMV depending on other factors I guess. If you want my XFConfig-4 file, mail me (privately).
A general warning: Please don't buy the Dell Optiplex GX260 series - it has loads of Linux compatibility issues - almost as if they were trying to break things deliberately :-(. To list: 1) Video is a mess. 2) IDE DMA does not work - so HD is *super-slow*. If you try hdparm -d1, it will tell you that it is unable to make the change. 3) Resource collision issues with Kernel 2.4.18 (and maybe above as well - I haven't tried (yet)) - Biswa.
