The 6.11 Pre-R300 drivers, I presume?
Standard 6.11 will not do it.

Need to remove the Radeon 7000 SERIES, and actually get the system recognising and configuring standard VGA.

One other thing which sometimes works, is to unpack the driver set using 7-Zip, and then to use the device manager to select the device, choose to update drivers and then offer it the INF from the unpacked drivers - I prefer "search here", as then it will only choose it if it does match, but it does get past some checks that a setup based install may trip up on if things are not quite as they should be.

Some motherboards also have awkward PCI IRQ mappings, and a card which doaes not configure properly in one slot may work better in another - it also helps to disable unused devices in BIOS so that 4 clear IRQs are available for PCI use.
