Hi there !
I am trying to get a pci VGA work on my Shuttle HOT-591P mobo but no luck.
I have several AGP cards that work fine but i could not get any of my pci cards to do so.
I probably missed something in BIOS-settings or maybe incorrect Jumpersettings but no clue what's wrong.
Any hint to get me going ?

Have you tried different slots? I have one motherboard where I couldn't get a video card to work in a certain PCI slot due to a resource conflict. Or Possibly your slot isn't making a good connection and needs cleaning

Hi RetroPCCupboard,
thanks for your reply! I tried all slots, also the board is quite clean and so are the slots. I dont think it's a connection problem.
I tried several cards but would like to use my HiScore 3d (Vodoo) which will only fit into the 3rd PCI slot.
Next i will try with both AGP and PCI Card and run HWinfo - maybe that gives a clue.

I once had a motherboard with a BIOS setting "initialize display first" PCI or AGP. Contrary to what the option suggests, it wouldn't work with any PCI card unless it was set to initialize it first. So it's a long shot, but check to see if you have a similar setting to play with.

Update : I didn't get it working and will stay with the matrox card for now. I tried several other PCI cards like a NE2K-clone and a CT4810 wich seem to work. ( Didn't install drivers to fully test)
The problem with the 3dfx Card i initially wanted to install might be related to PCI bus speed - the card likes 50Mhz and the board is configured to 66Mhz...
Right now i am struggeling with a cdrom connected to a soundcard-IDE-port ...

Thanks to all for now !
