<p>If you cannot find your card in the vendor lists (because it's not yet in
the database or it's an older card) you may find a suitable driver in the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Xorg</em></span> category, which provides more than 40 generic and
open source video card drivers. If you still can't find a specific driver
for your card there is the option of using the VESA driver which provides
basic capabilities.
