Aspeed AST2050 X11 configuration help needed

I'm having a really hard time getting X to use the xf86-video-ast driver for my Aspeed vid card.

so far I have:
-installed the xf86-video-ast driver
- configured X with the configuration below.

Here is the relevant line from my lspci output:

01:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ASPEED Technology, Inc. ASPEED Graphics Family (rev 10)

And my xorg 10-monitors:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier    "Monitor0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Device0"
    Driver        "ast" #Choose the driver used for this monitor
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Screen0"  #Collapse Monitor and Device section to Screen section
    Device        "Device0"
    Monitor       "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth  24 #Choose the depth (16||24)
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth     24
        Modes     "1680x1050_60.00" #Choose the resolution
    EndSubSection
EndSection

When I run X with these settings it still loads the vesa driver and in 1280x1050 resolution. I cannot find a module to be imported with modprobe and really am not sure where to go from here. What do I need to configure to get X to use my video card?

Thanks

This is my xorg output, I ran asus driver install for linux that came with the computer. I think the problem is I can't figure out what the module is.
