This is how XFree86 detects my card:
# XF86_S3 -probeonly
(**) stands for supplied, (--) stands for probed/default values
(**) Mouse: type: MouseSystems, device: /dev/mouse, baudrate: 1200
(**) S3: Graphics device ID: "#9GXE64"
(**) S3: Monitor ID: "MX17FG"
(**) FontPath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
(**) S3: Option "number_nine"
(--) S3: card type: PCI
(--) S3: chipset:   864 rev. 0
(**) S3: chipset driver: mmio_928
(**) S3: videoram:  2048k
(--) S3: Detected an ATT 20C498/21C498 RAMDAC
(--) S3: Ramdac type: att20c498
(**) S3: Ramdac speed: 135
(**) S3: Using ICD2061A programmable clock
(--) S3: Maximum allowed dot-clock: 135.000 MHz
(**) S3: Mode "1184x888@100": mode clock = 100.000
(**) S3: Mode "1152x864@90": mode clock =  90.000
(**) S3: Mode "1024x768": mode clock =  75.000
(**) S3: Mode "800x600": mode clock =  50.000
(**) S3: Mode "640x480": mode clock =  25.000
(--) S3: Using 8 bits per RGB value
(--) S3: Virtual resolution set to 1184x888

Here's the relevent details from /lib/vgadb:
