Try configuring everything with the 'xf86config' script.  That'll get you into
640x480 at least, and then you can edit /etc/XF86Config and just eliminate
all of the modelines that are below your preferred resolution.  

That diamond's a really new card, so driver support for it may be a bit shaky
still.  I'll assume you're using at least v3.3.6, and preferably 4.0 (and you
may have to upgrade to 4 to get better support?).
