For compatibility issue with a program I am using, I have installed a very old version of Linux, centos 4.7 (corresponding to RHEL4), via VMware. X org version is 6.8.2 and Kernel is 2.6.9-78.

It is not important for me with other hardware non-recognition, but video card problem.

My Sony laptop that is equipped with Intel chipset has Mobile Intel 965 Express Family video card. My vista surely gets 1280x800 as the native resolution, but the highest resolution I have for Linux via VMware is 800x600 with Vesa. I have changed it to many different video card models, but no luck. It’s too inconvenient to use the program for many hours almost every day.

Would you (anybody) help me to find a good driver with installation guide?
I would really appreciate in advance for saving a big portion of my life
