I'm running into a similar problem as the one you are with my system. Here 
is an excerpt from the XFree86 FAQ that may be what you are looking for. 
I haven't had the chance to try the latest beta version of XFree86 so I 
don't know if the suggested solution will work.

                       Q.F14- MACH64 "CT" AND "ET" CHIPS
                                       

From: XFree86 FAQ

   These versions of the Mach64 chipset include an on-chip RAMDAC and clock
   generator and do not work with the current (full) release. Additionally,
   some cards using the "GX-F (GX rev 3)" versions may not work with the
   current release.

   These chips are supported in the latest beta release, however, be sure
   to read item G4.

When I spoke with the ATI tech support people they suggested that I look 
at the "System Information" item in the DOS install program to determine 
exactly which RAMDAC I have installed.
