Forget about VGA, it is really obsolete now -- all graphic cards you are likely to encounter in the wild are VESA-compatible, which is what you want.
Yep. But not knowing why it's not working, I figure (based on experience) start with the lowest common denominator (so to speak) and work up from there.
He had tried vesa in a parameter to system-config-display, as suggested by Alan, and it hadn't worked. So I figured try something that _ought_ to work on stuff even 10 years old (or older) and go from there.
I have high hopes that the BIOS settings might be the key.
