Display problem HP zt1180

[Will Starck]

Hardware browser indentifies the card as

S3 Inc. 86C380 [ProSavage DDR K4M266]

and the driver it has listed is

S3 ProSavage PN133 which I think is a mismatch.

I tried xvidtune and gtf.

xvidtune - I can slightly change how large the displayed area is and 
when I mouse around it moves the desktop around to show me the whole 
thing, but the physical size of the desktop does not change. I'm not 
sure exactly what I'm doing though.

gtf - does not appear to make any difference.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks....

Will

which I do not see listed in the
