Good you have shown the hardware works - under Windows XP.

If this were my system, I would first upgrade Dani's drivers to the latest
versions which I believe are at Hobbes.
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu
I would of course keep the "old" drivers just in case. And of course if I
were upgrading the drivers on my OS/2 box, I would make sure that I have
emergency boot disks, maintenance partition, etc available if needed.
Good luck.

Regards.
