See any number of my posts on the video driver effort going currently to 3D and 
top dollar very recent cards so the gamers and people who want special effects 
will be happy, and lack of effort toward older hardware. You can probably run 
your video in VESA mode, it will be slow and probably low resolution, but in 
many cases it at least works.

I would get hate mail if I told you there might be closed source vendor drivers 
on RPMfusion, so I won't.
