fishindude Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hi, Niko.Don't know if this will help or not. I'm running a Radeon X800 on my 98SE system with the Catalyst 6.2 drivers.There were some issues with this at first. The main one was font blurring in a vertical bar pattern, from 1 to 3 bars per boot. This was not severe, I could get by, but it seems to have been cleared up by running Soporific's Autopatcher available on this site. I'd try downloading autopatcher (it's huge, you need broadband), running it, and then seeing if you can install your drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j7n Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) There is a difference. X800 (Radeon 430) is supported, while X1550 (Radeon 515) is not. Edited February 20, 2008 by j7n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way thanks for everyone who support me, this forum is simple awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoTF2 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) Just 5 topics lower:http://www.msfn.org/board/Generic-display-...rs-t109548.htmlYou mean the Vpemp9x thing? i've already try it...doesn't work.i really cannot find a mode to start my 98SE partition with atleast 256 color...just that poor 640x480 16bit...what i could do? there's really no way to fix it? EDIT= i guys i don't know how but now i see my 98 on 1280x1024 with 32bit of colour, but if i try to move a folder it goes like v-sync and very slowlyand still some games doesn't run...so i tought that driver was ONLY for resolution but for the system i don't have any real VGA...
