Is that pre-millenium hardware?

It appears this is just really old hardware that isn't supported
by the XFree86 4.x or X.Org 6.8.x 'mga' video driver.  We should
map this video adaptor to the "vesa" driver in pcitable/Cards.

Reassigning to 'hwdata' package for driver reassignment of
device:  102b:0d10 to the "vesa" driver.
