GPL works best with a Voodoo card. The stock version of GPL wasn't optimised for opengl but you can now download the opengl patch as well as loads of other goodies from www.theuspits.com Andrew Freeserve <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Do a search on deja.com. Someone managed to get decent results using the OpenGL patch and an ATI Rage Fury (128) and posted here a few months ago. Some tweaking and file editing was required, but just the usual mirror stuff. Definitely not S.O.L. Stephen "Martyn Danby" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I have to press CTRL-ALT-DEL *once*, then click 'Cancel', and everything is OK. Does this sort it? Technically, the ATI card should be able to cope with OpenGL. Do you have any other OpenGL apps (e.g. Quake III demo) to test? -- Richard. "Love, love me do. You know I love you. I'll always be true."
