What kind of graphics card is it? You can check on the manufactures website. I know ATI has linux drivers. You will need wine installed to use their application though.

i managed to find ATI drivers for windows and install them .....but i still cant use it :/ it says i have to configure it with "Sax", but sax doesnt detect the G-card (i have a ATI Radeon 9600), and when i do a system test with Cedega, OpenGL and Direct3D fails

boot into textmode and edit the settings in xorg.conf, its location is:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
