Post the output of lspci here.
If you have an Intel card, you most likely need i810 or intel driver, depending of how old the card is.

You have a nVidia card:
01:04.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1)
Use envy to install drivers.

Sorry, hangover, did not notice that you had to VGA cards there. The Intel one should work with the intel driver, nVidia for the other one (I think). I am not sure if Mint gets confused with 2 cards, or something. I found on Ubuntu forums that the intel driver would even give desktop effects.
