As I had FC7 booted up, I ran apt-get update, then apt-get dist-upgrade. Although no longer supported, there were 13 upgrades, and 1 new package available, which I'm currently downloading. Last time I updated FC7 was 20080609 (06 is June). Well the updates have just finished downloading, and are installed, so I'm having a look in synaptic for the X drivers. Most have been installed as default, apart from a few, including the vga one, which is: xorg-x11-drv-vga latest version 4.1.0-3.fc7 The OP should be able to install this vga driver, as the servers for the updates still are up and running, so the core packages should still be available.
