Sorry -- didn't see that attachment before. Looks like you've got a pretty old machine (2001 from BIOS date) with old graphics card on it. Very possible that something that supported that hardware was dropped in newer version of Xorg or kernel. Highly doubtful that there is a proprietary driver available and my guess is that the older LL 1.0.6 likely still has what you need as far as the generic driver and/or older version of Xorg needed to run on that video card.
If computer is able to boot from USB stick (maybe not for age of that computer), then do a test install to a USB stick if you don't want to install to hard drive. Then boot from it and see if there is any difference. Honestly, I doubt that there will be. Think your best bet would be to install older version that's based on Ubuntu 12.04.
Good luck. Hope you feel better soon.
P.s. Just had a look at LL download page to see if 1.0.6 is still available for download. Looks like you need to click list of "ISO Mirrors", click on one closest to you, pick LL 1.0.6 directory, then pick 32-bit version for your machine.
