Do you mean driver or chipset?  XFree86 doesn't support all video cards
at all video modes.  If you can't get your card to work with XFree86,
there's a commercial X server company called Xi that sells an
accelerated X server at a reasonable price.  Ok, not entirely
reasonable, but you get what you pay for, an accelerated X server much
faster than X Free 86, and with a larger range of supported video
cards.
