i just installed my voodoo4 4500 pci on my pc, but i can't make it work right. i think that my motherboard's integrated video card it's making troubles here. i heed no know how to disable this old video card in BIOS. (Award PCI/ISA 4.51pg amd k5). The drivers that i'm using are the tipical ones for the disappeared voodoo cards. Please help me. someone.

what is the name of your motherboard ?

if you know it, would be interesting because i think that it exists 2 or 3 ways to disable an onboard gfx card

thks

The AMD K5 can cause problems with your Voodoo card too, I just don't remember what they are. There are some settings you need to make in the BIOS to allow it to work correctly.

hum, a V4 is too powerful for a K5, even a V3 can scale to the class of P3/Athlon's
the only thing that you will be able to see is the visual quality

i don't know real problems between the K5/K6 and a VoodooCard
the problems existed rather with chipsets ALI and their mobo's

anyway :
Video BIOS Cache: Disabled
Video BIOS Shadow: Disabled
Palette Snoop: Disabled
AGP Turbo Mode: Disabled
AGP Aperture Size: usually default setting
PnP Aware OS: Yes
Resources Controlled by: Auto
Assign IRQ to VGA: Yes

if you own a K6, you need to enable the "K6 Write Allocate" option in your BIOS (an update can be necessary) or to find a little file named "setk6v3"

and always the question : do you know the name of your mobo ?

if you say to the exact model of your motherboard I to me I will try to find out if you have it to do by means of jumpers or in the BIOS.

hello people.

i have a "Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG.. SiS 530 rev 3"

i've tried to fix this problem but i still can't.

ok, we have the version of the bios

seems also that you 're using a Sis 530

but the name of the manufacturer, do you know it ?

yes i have a SiS 530. My machine it's an "Olidata". And what i know about the mobo, it's because i used a "Bios Agent", here it is more info.

Games in small windows runs good. Fullscreen it's the problem.

Now that the voodoo it's installed, i can only use the 960 x 720 resolution. Have you noticed in your monitor, when you move the screen image with the buttons in the outside of your Monitor, all the way to the left (for example), the image turns back and stays like on top of the original image. That's what happens when i try to play a game, the graphics are much better (so the card works), but the image is like when you baby brother mess with the monitor buttons. I don't know, maybe it's the monitor... i really can't tell.
