Depends what kind of video problem your are speaking. The bigger problem was the rendering. No render for I845 chipset. I just buy a GEforce2 Nvidia. Works good, with the nv driver fron Xfree. Anyway, it depends on what you want to do with your video. My friend has a Geforce4 on the same PC, and no specific problem whatsoever, but he is using Nvidia driver.
