Since your card is not supported I'll suggest you get one that is. Or you can
possibly try XIG's drivers.. but evedn if you did that it would cost you more
than a video card < those drviers arent free> you can get like an s3 based card
4 MB for 20 dollars just llok around some. otherwise youll have to wait for the
next release of xfree86 and see if they will suppport it.
