This definately works for me in Win2000 RC2, with latest 4.22 NT drivers. My card is a DualHead 32Mb OEM G400.
All you have to do is change the computer type in the device manager from ACPI PC to Standard PC.
Once you reboot Windows will re-install most of the system devices again , and at some point ask you for your video drivers.
I just pointed to my 4.22 driver directory and Bob's your uncle (well in my case they're my brother and my brother-in-law).
OpenGL doesn't seem to work (Neither OpenGL games or screensavers will function at all), but I've not yet had a chance to play with installing the Win9X beta ICD !!!.
BTW, somtimes when changing the machine type, Windows can fail to find the CD-ROM drive which can cause havoc if it needs any drivers of the CD. It may be advisable to copy the RC2 \i386 directory to the HardDRive and edit the registry so that the Windows setup location points there instead of the CD-ROM.
