video issues

I'm not asking GG to add this to their full plate--I just need some advice about what directions need to be taken and where to look. I'm not sure I'm even asking the "right" questions here, but here goes:
How hard would it be to have the installation process detect the video card and have a "dumb" resolution capability for legacy machines rather than have Torque crash?
From the cards I've tested so far, the ATI Rage Pro 128 is about the minimum that can be used; the ATI Rage Pro simply crashes. Would it be possible to let Torque run in some crippled mode with crappy graphics and tell the enduser they should have a better card? Or is this an issue of having (or not having) a software renderer?
