Hi SJ,
I assume you mean a Mobility Radeon X1200 card. You can go to the ATI site
here:
http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html
and get the most recent driver that supports your card (8.10 does support
X1200 but I'm not sure about 8.11). Remove the old drivers and install this
one and your 3D acceleration should start working.
Cheers,
Jonathan
