ok, I moved a step further. 'X -configure' is now successful.
All I had to do is to move the graphics card to another pci
slot. Perhaps where xvr600 was, is not a standard pci slot
at all? pgx64 worked fine there in the text mode, but not
in the graphics mode.
So now I'm stopped with "Signal over range" message reported
by the monitor firmware (?).
The card seems to be detected, the scan frequencies I put
are from the manufacturer's specs, but still something is wrong.
I put conf and log files here:

Manually setting a single mode is probably the easiest:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
EndSection
That might be enough, or you might have to go to 1024x768. You could
limit the entries in the Monitor section to trick the card into picking
a single reasonable mode, like VertRefresh 70, or HorizSync 30-50.
(Assuming this is a CRT. If it's an LCD, use VertRefresh 60.)
Incidentally, Radeon 7000 cards are available in standard PCI for $20 or
so. Not a great card, but quite an upgrade over a Mach64, and supported
by a current driver.
