how can I play GPL with a Matrox G400 ?
I've tried with a generic Glide wrapper but it seems not to work.
Thanx in advance.

The performance is a bit low, but it does work with some tweaks.

Modem troubles seem to be related to PCI bus overloading, so can't use
my Voodoo2 when online :-( The G400 might solve my problems, if only I
could solve it's problems!
Cheers,

Guess I'm going to have to throw down for a new motherboard at least
so I can get an AGP Voodoo3 and be able to tweak all the BIOS settings
for max performance out of my Celeron 400e.
