i feel like you are a Win95 user only.
i am sorry, here is the XFree86 x11-windowing project
that not really can fix your proprietary drivers.
(X11 is the GUI driver system for Unix, Linux, BSD, whatever...)
i cant comment on an enventually broken hardware,
because i am not that familiar with such a situation.

PS: why not visit knopper.net and get a Linux-on-a-CD
(iso 9660 standard) boot image for your testing?
