Try 'Basic Graphics Mode' (which will give you the VESA driver). And 
please do realize your graphics adapter is well over a decade old. ATI 
stopped posting official Windows drivers for it in 2002:

limits to how long the F/OSS stack devs are able to work on extremely 
old hardware, they don't have infinite resources...
