Same here: S3 Virge/DX, different monitor though. xf86config worked fine, except that it generated XF86Config while the server searches first for XF86Config-4 (as installed by the packages), so i had to copy it over.

Everything task-x-window-system-core pulls in is installed. Check /var/log/XFree86.0.log for indications of why it fails. -- finger for GPG public key.
