GPL + Voodoo3 3000 = Flashing Menus ?

Hi all,

Just upgraded my system to an Abit BP-6 with dual 366's oc'd to 550. I also
replaced my trusty G200 and Voodoo1 combination with a new Voodoo3 3000.

Wow, 36fps everywhere for the first time !

But ... (Why is there always a "but" ?)

I've now got the flashing menus problem.

Any insights ?

make sure you have triple buffering disabled and newest drivers. If your
running win2000 ( NT4 works too but the sound ir really bad ) with dual
celeron as i am use a patch called gplfix.zip ( somewhere on the fast lane
homepage ).

You need the GPL 1.1 patch, if you don't already have it installed.

Have you got "force triple buffering" enabled in the 3dfx properties, this
causes the flashing in the menues.

Thank you one and all. Yes I did have it enabled, yes I have now disabled
it, yes it fixed the problem.

Thanx !
