That might not work, as it didn't for mine. On both my machines they required
the card-specific driver. From what I can see from his components output, it
does look like the Sis driver that I assumed in the example I wrote. Bad news
is it almost looks like AGP (with the agpgart module) is needed? Is that
possible on this card? It is on my I810, I don't know the Sis card. In fact,
his machine is setup almost identical parts to my second one, right down to
the Winmodem (came with WinXP, which I cheerfully removed 1st thing), only I
have I810 instead of Sis.

Sooner or later you'll have to learn to write config files anyway; just look
at the examples, look at what's on your system, work with what you have, and
have patience.
One linux is as good as another, I guess. (Except for Debian/Ubuntu... besides
having a funny name, it splits all it's packages into 70 different pieces when
they'd normally be just one.)
