???

You're looking for drivers for Win9x, or are you looking for Linux drivers?

Well, either way:

The Win9x drivers can be found here.

I'm pretty sure this card will also work with a50 drivers, in which case Linux will handle it just fine. Just choose the XF86_SVGA X server and you should be fine.

Hope this helps,

Mike

the xvga driver doesn't quite look right, i'm using winlinux2000 and everything appears black, everything being the taskbar,the window, and the text. the icons however appear normal, thought hte text underneath blends in with the background(btw the windows 9x thing was on the descripton from device manager sorry for the ambiguity=-)

just to make sure, have you tried changing your background color/image???

you may also want to double-check your monitor settings. that's one thing linux is very picky about.

Have you tried changing your screen resolution or your color depth??? hitting crtl-alt-+ (plus sign) should cycle through your available resolutions, and you can start with a greater color depth by using "startx -- -bpp 16" (or 24, 32, etc.) no quotes, though.
