I've just installed Hardy and had a hell of a time getting the graphics card to display at the correct resolution. I've managed to get it to 1024x768 with the help of some suggestions on these forums, however the problem is that the VESA driver is really slow, which makes watching videos a very unpleasant experience. Does anyone know whether this is the only driver option available? I haven't had much luck with the generic SiS driver - it doesn't display correctly.
I'm using an ASUS A7S8X-MX motherboard and found a linux driver for the card on their website. I'm a newbie, so not sure how to get .o files to work/where to put them. Not even sure if this is a possibility. Any help would be much appreciated.
Card details below and Linux driver attached:
