This contains the HAL I was talking about.

X.org 7.0 was released in December 2005, 9 years ago.

You might be able to use this driver with Debian Etch.

But then DVI does not work with anything newer than XFree86 4.2:

XFree86 4.2 was released in 2002, 12 years go.

So, please, put this graphics card to rest and just use a cheap, fanless
Nvidia or ATI on.
