GPL + D3D + Savage = :-(

So I fidgeted for 8 hours at work until I could get home (to my dusty GPL
CD) and try the D3D patch on my computer.  A note: the computer is a Toshiba
notebook, with a Savage IX chip in it (basically a 0.18 micron Savage4
core).  The short answer is, still no luck.  The ultimate GPL Lan party
machine will still have to wait.  Boo hoo.  I fiddled with all the core.ini
settings (I have DX7), but it kept crashing back to the desktop without even
displaying the splash screen.  A pity, really, as the chip itself isn't an
utter dog.  It manages to throw around some very lush NFS:Porsche visuals in
D3D at up to 50fps at 800x600.  An in the end, that's what my computer did
last night.  I gave up on GPL again and immersend myself once more in Ferry
Porsche's lovely little world.
