system-config-display

If that doesn't work, try using the --noui switch to it.  Afterwards,
look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the configuration.

There is a manpage describing this file:  man xorg.conf

Google for configurations for Riva 128 cards that work, I'm not
confident the 'nv' driver supports it still.  If not, the generic 'vesa'
driver should.
