Hello, I'm testing some games of my childhood in my freshly-completed Windows 98 PC, and I came across Tomb Raider III... I wanted to close in the refridgeration room the old guy like I used to do when I was a kid... but here comes an issue: it doesn't seem to detect my X300SE, as you can see by the title bar gradient, the drivers are there and are working, but in the Setup screen, it doesn't show up, there's just "Primary video driver (display)" (yeah, lemme translate that window for you) and as output settings there's that "Core Design MMX Hardware Card Emulation" which I have no idea what it is supposed to be.
I also can't enable "hardware acceleration" and 8-bit textures get unchecked after I launch the setup again.
At least it detects my CT4750 sound card, but without hardware acceleration, the game looks all buggy, the icons in the menu are plain white and where there's supposed to be text there are odd brownish rectangles...
How can I force it to detect the graphics card ? So far it's the only game that is doing that...
Currently assembled vintage computers I own: 11

A "modded" Olivetti M4 434 S (currently broken).
An Epson El Plus 386DX running MS-DOS 6.22 (currently broken).
