    I've been using a 4 meg 3D card as my main video card with the
Creative V.D. 2 for the 3dfx in GPL.  I've had this AGP card for a while
and decided to pop it in and see what the openGL looked like in GPL.
So, I download the patch, Install it, select openGL in GPL and exit.
Then restart GPL.  Here's where my problem started..

    Before even loading up the GPL opening screen I get a page fault
error message for rastgl.dll.

    Any suggestions?  I'd like to try this just to see what it looks
like and if maybe it'll give me a smidgen more.

What card do you have installed?

A 4meg card will give you horrendous frame rates with the OpenGL patch.
Stick with your voodoo card for GPL, you're only real OpenGL option
would be to get something like a TNT or something. Between a 4meg voodoo
and a 4meg OGL card, I'd say the voodoo will give you a good 10fps more.
Just my opinion though. :)

    Didn't think of this till now.  Maybe my card isn't openGL
capable(?)   I'm using a Trydent 9750 AGP w/4 meg.  If I can't get the
openGL to work, I still have the Voo Doo2 card.
