What is "not working" about it? Does X.org identify the card, but the
display is scrambled? Does the display just go dark? Can you still
access the box via SSH when running X.org? Does X.org even start up?
Will the machine even power on?

Without any information about what the video card does do and doesn't
do, it is very difficult to give any help at all. Try to describe the
problem in detail. If you already sent a mail to this list some time
ago, try re-sending it or forwarding it as an attachment to this list
again.

Try putting the error messages, if any, into the body of the email, or
attaching logs. "It doesn't work" and "without satisfactory results"
aren't going to describe car troubles to the mechanic, and they won't be
able to adequately describe your VT8237r's problem symptoms either.

Also, it would be helpful to know what possible fixes you did try.
Again, nobody here can know what advice you found on the Internet, and
what you tried without providing that info in the email request.
