I don't know what happened.  I installed the GPL demo and everything was
working perfect.  I was able to switch in the OPTIONS screen the RESOLUTION all
the way to 1024 x 768 with my V2200 card.  No problems.   Now the maximum
resolution option is 800 x 600.  Anyone know what happened?  I did a full
un-install and re-install but no changes.

Not only for V2 but also for V2200 with 8mb.. Works in both

I have Voodoo2 and have NEVER seen option for higher than 800X600!  What gives?
Also, I'm not sure the resolution on my machine ever changes because It says the
changes will take effect the next time the game is started but for some unknown
reason (rendition card conflict?) the game goes to a black screen and locks up EVERY
time I shut it down.  Thus I am only able to run using my Rendition V1000 card.  Any
hints?

   You need the reference drivers from 3dfx probably. Also, have you
noticed the resolutions have a scrollbar?

Chris needs to get the Gold drivers for Voodoo2.
Fixes these problems immediately.
