There are two additional commercial x server providers that might support your graphics card. For further information, please refer to the manufacturer's web page:
From our experience, it does not pay off to purchase a commercial x server except in the case of unusual and expensive graphics cards or laptops. Otherwise, the graphics cards supported by XFree86 (standard graphics cards) are much cheaper and easier to get that the commercial x servers.
These x servers can be purchased from SuSE.

The card can be configured as described in the article "Configure an unsupported graphic card using the framebuffer device" (http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/wessels_easy_fbdev.html) This method is recommended to achieve high color depths.
The framebuffer device is not available and you can only use the VGA16 server.
If possible, it might be more convenient to purchase an inexpensive PCI graphics card supported by Linux, since the whole performance increases considerably when using the graphical interface X11 (particularly in small machines).
