i was hoping that someone else may have offered you a bit of help by now, so
I will try and help, I think your card may be a Intel Express 3D AGP, can
remember one of my overseas colleagues speaking about it being on your type
of machine. I am not very up on the latest hardware anyway and never have
been. I do know they do not like NT very much though.
But anyway you are trying to get a AGP card working with Linux. I have
installed RH 6.* many times from a CD that comes free with a magazine and
each time the learning experience was that my card was probed and then
settings were suggested for me.
I have no idea how to manually config the X server and I think others here
may be able to help better but you could try below
su -c Xconfigurator
and set your refresh rates and screen size to your Windoze spec
Whichever way about it someone may be able to give you some advice if you
knew what chip you had or even you could say what Windoze calls your card.
Lots of love Jill
You could try the star fighter card driver but this is only a guess and if
your
card is indeed as I thought previously. I must say again that this is only a
guess
