..for these, you want the best (and free) drivers, e.g. "radeon"
or "ati", which will do a good job of setting up good video for
you, or tell you in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and 'less dmesg' what
you might need instead.

..really old crap might ask for the "mach64" driver, which is
_really_ an hint to go dumpster diving for better video cards.
