laptops tend to be proprietary devices. if gateway doesnt make a driver, ur screwed.... that chip i think is an integrated graphics chip, but if it isnt, you are welcome to try mobility modder.

and what dont you like about vista? i love it... after a few changes and disabling a few things.... especially all those command prompts.. it becomes real nice....
