SecondLife requirements for video cards are: (PC or Mac) Nvidia Geforce2 (32MB RAM) or higher, or ATI Radeon 8500 (32MB) or higher
Players are playing with other cards that work but this is what is supported. If you have a card other than these you will need to find the manufacturers webpage and update to the latest drivers and hope for the best. You may also try the forums and see if anyone has posted with a similar setup to yours and got it to work.
