I have got a GeForce 256 video card, and was very dissapointed to see that I only had one video mode, Grey.
I found this program that I think would solve many video problems for everyone out there with unsupported video cards.
It's called VESA Accepted and you can download it from here:

it's not the best driver in the world, and doesn't support any of the accelerations that the new card offer, but you get COLOUR (woohoo).
It's really easy to install to.I have only been using the OS for 2 days, and I have no trouble installing it.
Have fun peoples.

Cavy,  
If your MoBo came with an integrated video adapter, you can disable it in the BIOS.  Usually when you first boot up, before anything loads, if you press [Delete] (may be [Escape], [F2], or some other key, depending on the manufacturer of your MoBo) it will take you to a basic (usually blue and white, black and white, or something like that) screen, with a menu on it.  Look for an entry that looks something like "Peripheral Configuration".  if you go into that heading it will take you to another menu where you will probably find your Integrated video Adapter.  If you don't see it there, look at some of the other menu headings.  You will probably also find settings for which card to boot from, etc.  Just be careful, don't change anything except for the integrated card, 'cause if you don't know what you're doing, you could make things difficult for yourself. However, don't be scared either, these are pretty self explanatory menus as well.  Hope this helps you out some.
