Ah, sorry. Well, you probably can use X with the framebuffer
driver/server then. Just compile your kernel with framebuffer support
and use the right server (don't know precisely how to do this though).
Your card will then probably be supported with acceleration soon. Also
note that you don't especially need X to run Adonthell. It will also run
with the fbcon driver, which use the framebuffer. If you do 
'export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=fbcon' before launching Adonthell, it will use
it. You won't need X and will play fullscreen. Chances are, however,
that it will be slow.

Ah. A true man, finally! ;)

Hope you can take advantage of your card soon!
Alex.
