You have to try it out & tell me. Even if it detects your Graphics card, you have to
do some System file tweaking to make it work properly!!

I have nVidia GeForce 7400 and Knoppix didn't work properly with it the last time I tried. I had to get back to on-board graphics to work. But I have tried this only once. So, I am hopefule :) and will try it again.
