We'll get a better idea of what the chipsets on the cards are if you 
send the output of lspci -vn for both cards. If by any chance the 
graphic subsystem are the same as one that is already supported, it 
might be easy. Don't hold your breath too much, it will probably still 
not be an easy task without the hardware in the hands of a developer.
