Can you start W98 in safe mode ? If so, can you change the adapter type to
manufacturer=(standard types)
model=Super VGA ?

i740 cards have had hardware compatibility problems (especially AGP), driver issues, some units even had (Siemens) RAM problems.

Are you sure you have the latest driver ?
Have you enabled IRQ for VGA in the BIOS ?

...but NickS, the compatibility problem was typically i740 + non-Intel chipset boards, wasn't it? I'm adding my own personal experience to this statement.

True... but that still leaves a number of other options! :)

i740 cards usually have flashable BIOS - check for update.

Do what I did. Do a websearch for OEM manufacturers of i740 VGA cards... you'll find one offering BIOS updates. They're usually 100% compatible.
Try Sparkle, Gainward and Hightech (H8). I remember getting mine from one of the three.
