I think the widely supported but less performant video modes
(terms like VESA and frame buffer come to mind) are still
offered by modern video chips. 

So you can get your system running first, then later find a
better driver or kernel if you want better performance for
games, etc.

Why not try some live Linux CDs, if you haven't already?
