Help!
I just purchased a Matrox marvel G200 (AGP) for my AMD K6-2/300 system
and I was hoping to have GPL working properly using 3D hardware
acceleration but unfortunately I can only play in software mode (poor
graphics and framerate).
Is there any way I can get this to work properly?

There is a beta patch for Matrox G200 cards. It didn't work for me but you
can find it at http://www.matrox.com/mga/drivers/patch_demos/home.htm

Good luck

Go to http://www.matrox.com/mga/drivers/patch_demos/home.htm and download
the patch for GPL...

It runs faster and with the pretty 3d accelerated files, but there are only
a few glitches...
They're noticeable, but not bad, considering that it's a 0.1 BETA!

Hi Kirk,

I found that the lowest res, 512x384, produces consistant 36fps but
you can only do 1 race. The buttons don't work in the pre-race
screen after you exit the car.

Oops, I screwed this post up. No wonder I've been dormant soooo long ;)
