I had the same problem with my mach64 card.
YDL 2.1 can't configure this card properly. You must to edit manualy
XF86Config-4 file.
There are 2 sections:
Section "Modes" and
Section "Screen"
You must to change to look as:
-----------------------------------
Section "Modes"
Identifier "Modes[0]"
Modeline "1024x768" 78.525 1024 1056 1152 1312 768 769 772 800
+hsync +vsync
EndSection
Section "Screen"
DefaultDepth 15
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
Device "Device[0]"
Identifier "Screen[0]"
Monitor "Monitor[0]"
EndSection
------------------------------------
this worked for me.
Good Luck.
By the way, if this work, duplicate it. And put in a safe place.
