OT - nForce, GeForce and VMWare

[Scarletdown]

I'm finally giving VMWare a whirl, and am hoping someone here can help.

VMWare installed okay, and I was able to set up a virtual machine with 
Windows-98SE.  However, I am unable to get sound working, and am also 
having some video issues.

My motherboard uses the nForce-2 chipset, with onboard sound.  I was 
able to get the nForce Linux drivers up and running, and have sound 
outside of VMWare, but sound is disabled on 98SE within the VMWare 
virtual machine.

I was hoping that just installing the 98 drivers off the CD that came 
with my board would do the job, but the installer claims that there is 
no compatible hardware installed.

As for video, I am currently using the driver that comes with VMWare, 
VMWare SVGA-2.  That enabled me to set my resolution properly (1024x768 
- 32-Bit color).  However, that particular driver doesn't allow 
realization of my video card's full potential.  The card is a 256MB 
GeForce 5600 FX.  Like with the nForce drivers, the nVidia drivers for 
Linux are working fine, but I can't get certain features working under 
Linux, specifically Direct 3D, and the Windows installer for the video 
card does not see the card as a compatible device.  So what does it take 
to enable 3D features under VMWare?  I'm trying the Windows version of 
America's Army as my test app, and it won't run because Direct 3D isn't 
working.

Any advice on these problems?

Thanks.
