I am testing a Banshee 16MB PCI card under Win98 -- I have tried installed a bunch of different drivers, but not matter what, I can't select a resolution above 640x480.
I can select True color and it works, but the resolution options just are not available in the windows control panel.
Is there a very specific driver I need to be using or something? Is the card faulty? The graphics appear fine.
Change the monitor type to something else...
Requests are also possible... /msg kixs
Try to reinstall DirectX?

This was a fresh install -- no DX yet....can that make a difference to 2D desktop resolution?

Ill try this.
Install latest drivers by Control panel -> add new hardware 😀

Yes.
I had the latest reference Voodoo3 drivers fail because DirectX 7.0a wasn't installed. The readme of that driver pack does state that DX7 needs to be installed beforehand and that the drivers were designed with that in mind.
It was the monitor selection that did it -- I am installed DX7 though just to be sure. Thanks.
