Device drivers for virtual 98SE PC?

I ran this PC as a dual 98SE/XP boot (fine) until I upped the RAM to 2 GBy which 98SE does not understand. I used WinXP MS Virtual Machine to create a 98SE VM under WinXP host: fine, except lousy graphics. It has an nVidia card for which I have both WinXP and Win98(generic) installers; these are packaged nVidia installation "kits". I have used the MS "extra resources" but I still get only 320x240 resolution in the VM! How can I install Win98-compatibile nVidia drivers in the 98SE VM? The nVidia "kit" has no explicit *.inf file, so Win 98SE will not install drivers. The nVidia "kit" does not recognise any nVidia hardware from inside the VM so the "kit" installation will not run. Any ideas, anybody?
