I run nv driver with 1280x1024 on fedora 10 and above.
Riva 128 looks (to me ) an old card, but I don't know if it is.

Search by "Nvidia Riva 128 ZX"

5. Why does RIVA 128 only support a 4MB frame buffer? 
The RIVA 128 was primarily targeted for the consumer mainstream market,
so balancing cost and performance was key. Since RIVA 128 uniquely has
the capability to store textures in off-screen memory on both PCI and
AGP platforms, we did not feel it necessary to burden the graphics card
with the additional cost of memory. With virtually unlimited system
texture memory and a target resolution of 800x600 with 16-bit color
double-buffered, 4MB is the ideal frame buffer size.
