It's *supposed* to fix the problem, and it doesn't. The glide wrapper is
the real fix.

I installed this also yesterday, and indeed, on my system the texture
problems are gone also :)
Only problem is that the menu screen is now not full screen anymore,
more like 1/3 of the screensize, but it's more than worth it.

Andre, there's a switch in the INI file for "full screen" mode or
some such. Read the docs and the INI fully.
My question: So, is using that humongous overhead mirror a "cheat"
on par with the F10 view or swapping engines? Will GPL-purists boo me
off the track?
OTOH, as my buddy and I figured out, get that big honkin' mirror at
*just* the right angle and you get a ton of downforce... :)

While the integer perf of K6-2/3 is very good, the fpu is inferior and
the fpu prolly gets used alot in gpl. I gave mine to a friend for $35,
start thinking about a worthy home for yours :)
