Setting "new" graphics card to Xorg


I have installed on one of my boxes Suse 10 by using one old graphics card S3 Virge DX. Because I will keep that machine as server I thought of using just a very old screen I had (about 15years old Hyudai black and white) in case I wanted to do something in front of it instead remotely. I tried to connect that screen on the S3 card but I wasn't able too because of the serial port wasn't the same. So what I did was to remove from the computer (a Hyudai 15years old) the screen was with the graphics card, (an ATI one but not 3D hehe), and put it on the other one and conncet the screen there. I did and it worked. It loads command line very good but when I'm trying to load KDE I got error that no screens found. As I know I have to change on the Xorg.conf the settings about the graphics card (the address on motherboard?) and the screen as well?
If anyone can help would be really good!

In your xorg.conf file located in /etc/X11 look for the line that says:

Driver "ati"

change it to

Driver "s3virge"
