GPL and Detonater 2 drivers

Well I've just installed the new NVidia Detonater 2 drivers on my
machine and now Gpl is acting up!  I have the US version of Gpl
patched to 1.2 and I'm using the Papy OpenGL patch.

Spec:
BP6
Celery 466 at 525
Xentor 32 TNT2 Ultra
128MB CAS2 RAM
SB Live
MSFF
W98 SE

Previously I was using Guillemots own drivers with great success i.e.
solid 36fps.  But since installing the new drivers when I get to the
track I only see the first two thirds of the screen from the top left
hand corner (if you see what I mean).  The rest of the screen is a
strange torquise colour.

All my other games work fine and I've noticed some framerate
improvements from before and after benchmarking.

Has anybody else had a problem with the Detonator 2 drivers and more
to the point is there anything that can be done about it??

Andy

Check out the previous posts cocerning the GPL mirror problem - you may find
it's related.

Using the Nvidia control panel, in your display settings goto
settings/advanced/opengl and set "buffer
flipping mode" to "use block transfer"

Try it.

Cheers,
