Have an older PC running Win98. It has a 3rd party graphics card installed with a separate Windows driver. What are the chances DSL would have the driver for this card? Thanks.

I think the chances are pretty good. DSL uses a "driver" (or X-server as it is called in the linux/unix world) that is based on the vesa 2.0 specification which I think was introduced in 1994/95, and as most cards support this spec your card should probably work.
