That's odd...  What version of XFree86 do you have installed?  You
probably need to upgrade...  The support for those cards was added in
one of the fairly recent versions of XFree86, I think.

AFAIK, that specific chipset is supported.

Try upgrading to a more recent version of XFree86.  Also, if at all
possible, run XF86Setup instead of xf86config.
