More often than not, if the screen shows the wrong resolution,
then it's a
problem with the Graphics card drivers, rather than the
Monitor drivers -
but NOT, by any means, always!

I am thinking about to buy a TFT screen for an older PC
on
which a WinME resp. Win98 is running.
Are there drivers available for these old WinOS?
Or is the minimum Win2000 required to use TFT screens ?

Monitors don’t need drivers. When you install a driver for
your
monitor, all you are doing is telling windows what the
monitore is
capable of (resolution, depth, refresh rate etc.) there is
no need to
install drivers for monitors, providing the monitor displays
what is
ment to be displayed.

"all actually need drivers"
No they don’t, the graphics card out puts a standerdized signel, the
operating system just "tells" the graphics card what to show, it
proccess what is to be displayed, and out puts it as a standared
single (this applies for both RGB and DVI).
Want more proof?
I have a monitor this is not plug and play compliant (it’s quite a
few years old) and hence is not detected by windows, how ever this
dose not matter as it meets the RGB standars set years befor it was
built, which means it will work with any modern PC providing it has a
RBG out. Aditionaly, since it is not detected by windows, windows
alows the graphics card to be set to any resolution it supports. (even
though the monitor only supports 1024X768 at 62Hz maximum).
