How do I install that sound driver? Whenever I try to do what it said in the readme, I get command not found error.

Thanks for your posting up the output of listmodes..

Guess that answers that..
Your video card's VESA compliancy only offers up to 1024x768x8 ..

Do all Linux's use Vesa?

Most don't...

DSL uses the KDrive XVesa/Xfbdrv xservers for it's small size
and suitable performance..

The typical xservers on most LARGER distros are the XFree86 and X.Org xserver
alnog with a driver/module for your particular video chipset.

But the XVesa/Xfbdev xservers are found in many different
"mini distros" ..
