I have to admit I'm having trouble getting a clear image of what you're 
describing.

Are you sure you are actually getting 1024x768 out of the card with the vga 
driver? Try using Driver "vesa" instead and see if that makes a difference. 
If that doesn't help either, you should perhaps consider using different 
hardware (it still baffles me that your card isn't supported by the s3 
driver).
