Use a general ‘VESA 2.0’ driver. This should allow higher resolutions but may mean lowering the colours available. (probably works for any XF86 based Unix XWindows setup too). 6.b.5. How can I get Windows 2003 sound to work? I can’t find any drivers. There is no Sound Blaster 16 driver available for Windows 2003 server and there is none on the Creative download page you provide a link to in the FAQ for 2000, XP or 2003. The workaround is to run the “add new hardware” wizard and tell it to search for a driver in the C:\Windows\Inf folder of any XP machine on your network. It will probably work if you point it at a windows 2000 machine’s inf folder too although I haven’t tested that.
