Are you connected to the internet via this computer?
If you are do you have your sources.list setup to
upgrade through apt-get? Perhaps a newer version of
2.2 will give you some more video cards to select from
(hopefully, the one you have in particular).
If wife/child will cooperate, I should be able to get
to my Linux machine at home, just set it up to upgrade
via the web, which is way cool!
Here's a link to beginning apt-get documentation.
