These are the available options that I know of: VIDEO_CARDS="nv nvidia -apm -ark -chips -cirrus -cyrix -dummy -epson -fbdev -fglrx -glint -i128 -i740 (-impact) -imstt -intel -mach64 -mga -neomagic (-newport) -nsc -r128 -radeon -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage -siliconmotion -sis -sisusb (-sunbw2) (-suncg14) (-suncg3) (-suncg6) (-sunffb) (-sunleo) (-suntcx) -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l -vesa -vga -via -vmware -voodoo" I would start with intel but I think i128 and i740 are Intel as well. You may want to enable vesa as a second option. Sort of a back up to intel and vesa. At least you will have some sort of driver while trying to get the best one working. Dale :-) :-)
