Default ProSavage DDR (420, 430) in windows vista

Hi I just installed Vista Business. My laptop has only modest specs AMD
athlon 2500+, 512 mb ram and a 32 mb shared ProSavage DDR (420, 430). However
with Aero disabled the upgrade advisor told me that it should be possible to
run windows vista and indeed everything is running smoothly, however my
screen is flickering constantly. It concerns horizontal lines that run
through the screen from top to bottom. I searched the internet somewhat and I
think this is a result of bad drivers for the ProSavage DDR (420, 430). Is
this a known problem and is there going to be a driver update soon?

I highly doubt there will be new drivers for such an old display adapter.
