So you have updated your IDE drivers for your MB?! Have you went to ATI's website and looked for an updated driver there for 98se. Look in your bios and make sure your video settings are set up right.

look here (http://support.ati.com/products/pc/radeon/radeon_drivers.html) for retail supported drivers
and look here (http://www.ati.com/na/pages/spdrivers/drivers.html) for unsupported special purpose drivers

Visit the ATI website as they have just put up the latest updates for drivers. If you are using the Multimedia Centre facility, version 7.x is downloadable but without the software DVD player...this is downloadable separately.

I should know as I've had to do this myself!
Make sure that you have your current CD installation disk handy as you may need it!

And check out these two sites: Rage3D (http://www.rage3d.com/), and 3DXtreme (http://www.ammoburners.com/3dxtreme/ati.php)
for more Radeon specific info...

The latest 4.13.7075 driver set are known to be stable with this board. I have also been informed that the recent 7078 beta drivers work well.

One user also reported that there is a sequence you need to follow in loading the board drivers and VIA's AGP driver. He recommended the following:

Fully remove the previous ATI driver set using uninstall.
Choose PCI Adapter and reboot.
Load DirectX 7.0a or 8 - reboot
Load latest VIA AGP driver - reboot
Load ATI driver set - reboot
Reload latest VIA AGP driver - reboot
Reload DirectX - reboot
You may need to set the AGP driving strength to 68.

Disabling P2C/C2P Concurrency in the Advanced Chipset Features menu of the BIOS instabilities solved some problems.

There is a conflict between the "Gart" file for the VIA chipset on the KT7x and the Gart file for the ATI 64 DDR video card. ATI technical support advise users to change the "atigart.exe" filename (in the ATI directory) after installation to "atigart.ati" and then load the VIA AGP driver. This prevents a conflict between the two GART drivers
