A friend of mine has recently purchased gpl he has a ati rage129vr agp
3d card.
he hasnt been able to run gpl using the 3dfx acceleration option
Everytime this is selected it is deselected upon restart
Is this a driver problem i believe he has the standard drivers as he
purchased the comp with the card already on board

I wonder if anyone can help me
Thanks in advance

As I recall the ATI Rage boards do not support 3dfx.

So GPL will only run in software mode, and poorly.

I'd don't think that has a 3dfx chipset, does it? He should download
the 1.2 patch for GPL and add the OpenGL beta patch that allows GPL to
use 3d graphic accelerator cards other than 3dfx and Rendition via
DirectX. Be sure to have DirectX 6.1 or higher. The most recent is
DirectX 7.0a.

Also do a search on dejanews or something for references to ATI and
GPL. I asked a while ago about it, as the only 3D chip in notebooks right
now is the older ATI Rage, with a Rage 128 derivative coming. Someone had
surprisingly good results with the OpenGL patch and the Rage Fury, but
some tweaking of settings is necessary.
