Hi, I'm having some issues finding a working driver for this chipset for Windows 98.
Basically, as some of you might know, I built a PC based on a PCChips M754LMR+ motherboard, which uses the nVidia Aladdin TNT2 as graphical chipset (it lacks an AGP slot, unfortunately, that's the only thing I regret of this motherboard, but I love it for the ISA slot, thus allowing me to use my AWE32 sound card in Windows 98, without encountering issues with PCI sound cards like my CT4750 in my Asus A8V-XE Windows 98 machine).
I downloaded the drivers for it and this morning I tried to install them, the installation went through, I restarted, but nothing happened... there are still 16 colors, no gradient in the title bars and the cursor still moves "laggy" (well, after you install graphics card drivers in Windows 98 the cursor becomes all smooth, you know)... are there some working TNT2 drivers for this chipset ? Because I think that the ones I downloaded are for the nVidia RIVA TNT2, which I think it's an actual graphics card and not a chipset.
In the devices manager, the "graphics card" shows as a Generic PCI VGA adapter, not even AGP (during the boot it shows as an AGP VGA)...
That's the mobo:
Yeah, I must be crazy to build a Windows 98 machine on an Intel Celeron Coppermine, but so far that's what I got, until I get the Pentium 4 mobo to stop glitching the graphics cards...
Ah, I'm dual booting with DR DOS 7.03.
Currently assembled vintage computers I own: 11
Most important ones:
A "modded" Olivetti M4 434 S (currently broken).
An Epson El Plus 386DX running MS-DOS 6.22 (currently broken).
Celeron Coppermine 1.10GHz on an M754LMRTP motherboard
