subject: [OS2HW] Nvidia driver

Switch hard drives to different motherboard with a Nvidia Riva TNT2 Pro
32mb agp video card.
 Unsuccessful trying to install a driver for it.  Tried 3 drivers with
varying results:

sp22077.exe  latest Nvidia gradd driver from Hobbes    
  Black screen upon boot.
128tntb5.zip   older gradd driver from about 1999
  Boots to corrupted screen with some color on upper half
sddse 7.04 driver
  Black screen on boot at the point where desktop should appear.

Each time system was set to VGA first.  Below is from config.sys.  Nvidia
drivers changed the
 Set C1=nvgradd line, otherwise similar.   Changed mouse as there had been
issues with SDD.  No difference.

SET GRADD_CHAINS=C1
DEVICE=G:\OS2\GRADD.SYS
SET C1=SDDGRADD
SET VIO_VGA=DEVICE(BVHVGA)
SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_VGA

Any ideas on this?  

        Cal
