According to /usr/X11R6/lib/Cards

NAME Diamond Stealth 3D 2000
SEE S3 ViRGE (generic)

NAME Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 PRO
SEE S3 ViRGE/DX (generic)

NAME Diamond Multimedia Stealth 3D 2000
SEE S3 ViRGE (generic)

NAME Diamond Multimedia Stealth 3D 2000 PRO
SEE S3 ViRGE/DX (generic)

So your card is supported, i suggest you use 'xf86config' te oldest
and most reliable program ever written for building a XF86Config
file, its realy the origanal program, its text based all you do is
"read whats on the screen" and answer with "y" or "n" and spmetime a
"just hit enter to continue".

I can suure you it will give you results, but please read whats on
the screen befoe saying yes or no.
