It would help if you would better describe the symptoms of the problem you are having. Can you not get 640x480 to run or are there display artifacts? Are the GUI elements too large which makes the the GUI effectively unusable?

Preference of distro? If I don't hear from you I will just explore the process for PuppyLinux and 640x480 with the VESA driver.
