You have mixed the unfortunate combination of Aladdin V and TNT2.  You might
pawn your mobo off for a MVP3 or switch to a 3dfx video card.  Try AGP = 1x
and 8MB aperture in BIOS, V/H Sync off (set to DPMS), but it may never work.
Please post to list if you get this working correctly!  ALI was working on
updated BIOS flash to accommodate; check their web site to see if it's
released yet (?) and let us know.
