solaris installation problem --> can't get right graphic card driver


i got a brand-new ibm box sitting here with radeon 9600 128 mb, i am trying to put solaris 9 on there, to the part where i need to select hardware from a list, i can't seem to find a right driver for the card. the box does have an intel 865 graphic on board i can choose from, but that's not an option from the hardware list solaris provided as well. Now my installation won't go on, need help!!!!!

You will probably notice the EXTREMELY limited number of supported video adapters. Sorry, but you're probably going to have to buy a video adapter, or try to use a "similar" adapter - maybe the ATI 9700 driver will work?
