I'm having trouble increasing the Windows 98SE desktop resolution past 640x480 on my Rendition Verite V2200 AGP. The drivers I'm using are the latest (Version 3.0 beta 5, 1999-06-02).

This is because the refresh rate being set is something that is not compatible with ANY of my TVs or monitors. They're all fully capable of supporting VGA at 60, 70, 72 and 75Hz. However, the V2200 seems to be setting the refresh rate to something (68Hz) between or outside of this range.

I've tested all resolutions with the above refresh rates with 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 using a Matrox Millenium card and have had no issues. Using different drivers such as release drivers (09/98) and earlier beta drivers (12/98) still produces the same problem.

The software display settings are diabolically atrocious! The refresh rate settings can be selected but when moving away from the tab and returning again, all the settings have been reset. Just touching the Pan up, down, left, right controls force the refresh rate to be pushed to something the displays cannot support. I'm having to control the system blindly if I can't back out of the changes made.

I've attempted switching around the selected Monitor in Windows but that doesn't help. I've tried the MultiRes tool from EnTech but that wasn't able to force a specific refresh rate. Would PowerStrip help to solve the problem? I heard there are some Diamond drivers that are more reliable, but aren't they for the Stealth II S220 (V2100)?
