I recently revived my 233 Cyrix box for folding and music fileserving. However, after updating it with everything windows could throw at it and installing VNC (it's going to be a VNC box), I noticed that the box was running 16 color (not 16 bit) and 640x480, which is the standard for the "Windows standard AGP video card" driver. So I tried to update the driver, big mistake. The system woudn't run with it and I had to use safe mode to boot and have a visable screen. I know the card works, as I installed Mandrake 10 on it and it worked fine, but it is WAY to slow for Mandrake and I don't have the time/patience for a Gentoo install on this slug.
I have tried the drivers it came with ("Winfast" Geforce 2 MX drivers by leadtek) that it worked with it before I formatted it (the system previously was at my grandmothers house, but I built her a 1.4 Ghz system as this thing is just painfully slow for anything). But they lead to the same result as the new Nvidia unifed drivers.
Anyone have any ideas about how I can get this box to work a little better?
