Post video-driver


I Have a quite old graphics card by trident. I want to ask that whether I should configure the driver specially or rely on what feisty has done for me. I am also having problems regarding playing video file and some times video is choppy or some what odd.
here is what lspci shows

01:0a.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems TGUI 9660/938x/968x (rev d3) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11
Memory at ff400000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
Memory at ff8f0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Expansion ROM at f6900000 [disabled] [size=64K]

I have also put the same question on ubuntu forum but couldn't find satisfactory answer

Driver

If you can find a linux driver for it, you may get better performance out of the card. Would recommend googling it a seeing if ones available or at least what drivers its comapatable with.
