Dunno. Afaik this option is useless on windows anyway.

Can you give mv the output with -v -v -v and without forcing?
Does this card work on linux?

You should have a lot more luck with it as both Riva128 and TNT2 are known
to work under windows.

Here is the problem. The driver is unable to map the video memory. No wonder
you do not get
an image. Don't worry I'm working on it because I experienced the same with
an radeon with
128MB. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q189327
for a description of the problem.
The solution is to map only the area of videomemory we really need.
Until then you can insert "radeon_ram_size = 16*1024*1024;" in line 1069 of
radeon_vid.c
so that it only maps the first 16MB and not the whole adpater ram.

Is this your video mode and is the VideoMemorySize correct???
