You don't really have a Non-Linux compatablile graphics card, X works with almost any card, you just have one of those cards that are not automatically picked up, so what, no big deal, install Linux in text mode, and then configure your XF86Config file,
You have to be willing to learn Linux, otherwise frankly if you could care less then just don't bother.
Next time if you are unsure about a particular hardware, whether it works or not, just try a Google: "<Device Name> Linux"
"SIS 300/305 Linux"

Be careful you guys understand what a Linmodem. It's simply a successful "hack" I guess (using the term lightly) to get a Winmodem working under Linux. The modems that everyone has problems with in Pakistan are these Winmodems, modems that are not full chipset, but rely on software to really work, and obviously this makes it cheaper and causes trouble for Linux users since most manufacturers dont provide Linux drivers of their products.
If you want to steer clear of this, understand that you will probably pay more, but it doesn't mean that all pci modems are winmodems, you can get a pci (or older isa) based modems that work just fine, of which the drivers that come with the Linux kernel are sufficient.
Then of course, you CAN get a winmodem and configure it properly with the working drivers (
