    That is very old and it may be much more then the video that will have problems with the old drivers.

    Try editing the /etc/X11/XD86Config file (or if it is there xorg.conf file) change the driver to "visa".

    There is no chance of updating the application to a new OS???? Maybe recompiling it???

    The correct spelling for the driver is "vesa". I recently made the exact same mistake in another post.
