My understanding is that the correct drivers are built into the kernel you just need to run
Code:sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
YMMVfree/libre/open software for the people by the people

thank you for your help but the built in driver doesn't contain 3d hardware acceleration (am i wrong?). i have reconfigured my card with builtin sis driver and run glxgears. it is terrible! how can activate 3d hardware acceleration for my graphics card?

If that doesn't work, check out the output of
Code:cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

is it possible to get this 3D stuff on my machine? or do i have to buy a graphics card?
this is output of "glxinfo | grep -i direct" command:
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
