I looked around the net for the proper driver but came no The XFree86 "current drivers" information suggests that although the 968 is supported the RAMDAC may not be (http://www.xfree86.org/current/Status28.html#28): 'Support (accelerated) for the [...], 968, [...] is provided by the "s3" driver (however, only models using [...] Texas Instruments 3025 [...] are supported)' It may be that the TI-3026 is close enough to the 3025 and that you just have a misconfiguration problem. You may want to check on the Xperts list to confirm this. Your fall-back option would be to return to XFree86 3.3.6 which states that it does support the 968 with no caveat about the RAMDAC.
