Hello all i Recently got a vga to hdmi converter for my windows 98 pc. it will boot fine on the main video card but when i play a game on the voodoo 2 get a black screen. I hear music playing on it and everything. i have tested with the crt monitor i have laying around and both video cards works fine. is there anything i can do to get it working with the converter.

Maybe the converter doesn't support the low 800x600 resolution from the Voodoo²? What resolution is your 2D card running?

Please use the "quote" option if asking questions to what I write - it will really up the chances of me noticing 😀

Have you tried setting different screen refresh rates on each resolution for the Voodoo2?
