Video driver

I just installed 2003 server as a dual-boot with NT 4 on an old HP netserver LH II. Seems fine except for video. Anyone know what the video card might be? How to find out? Where to get drivers? How to use standard VGA? I use standard VGA but it doesn't help. Can I put another video card in it? How do I disable the current video card? I don't know how to get into the BIOS. i can still boot into NT 4 no problem. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Dennis:

I would not expect much from the video card native to the LH II:
Integrated 1024x768, 16-color, noninterlaced
â ¢ 512KB standard video memory

You are likely going to have to use Standard VGA / SVGA for this card. There are no additional driver sets for the LH II... especially for Win2003.

I am not sure if you can disable the video on the LH II, but if you can, you should not install much more than an old Trident chipset or S3 PCI ca
Enjoy!
