| The server has an ATI Radeon 7000 series graphics card built in...

| 01:06.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
| [AMD/ATI] RV100 [Radeon 7000 / Radeon VE]

Here is a list of supported cards.  I think that it is the right list.
It doesn't go back before the Radeon HD 5k series.

The newer architectures are more programmable.

Besides this, I don't think that you actually make a profit running
anything but mining ASICs or perhaps FPGAs.  And then only if you get
them cheaper than the market price.
