Hi. I am trying different drivers - using setup.exe or manually. The installation was OK, but after reboot still VGA driver is used:

I read that it needs to be installed in VGA mode, but I have BSOD 1E - KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

VBEMP NT work OK:

BSOD 1E probably has something to do with the file system on the disk. When I changed the file system to FAT16, there is no error in the VGA mode, but when I changed the graphics card to AGP NVIDIA GeForce2 MX400, after installing the 23.11 driver, the same 1E error appears when trying to change the screen resolution.

To eliminate the BSOD 1E, I reinstalled the system on the NTFS partition and then I can change the resolution:

I also tried to use the Matrox G450 PCI card in another PC - Haswell but the same problem. Maybe because the card has an AGP to PCI bridge: HB6 Universal PCI-PCI bridge (non-transparent mode) and is connected via another PCI to PCIe ASMEDIA bridge. HB6 bridge device has no I/O resources:
