I am testing a Geforce2 MX with the GPL D3D patch and have a problem with flashing menus when I return to the menus after driving. If I go to another menu and return everything is ok again. I have the latest GPL patches and the newest nvidia drivers. Other than the menu problems everything appears to be working ok. Any ideas?

That happened to me too on a friends machine, but only after I loaded one of the hi-res fonts.

I experienced flashing menus when upgrading from nvdia 5.22 reference drivers to nvidia 6.31 reference drivers. Reinstalled the 5.22s, and the flickering disappeared.

I get the same thing, although it doesn't really bother me too much. You'll either have to put up with it, or go back to a pre-detonator 3 driver. I believe the 5.xx drivers don't have this problem.

I have GTS2 and am using 6.34 drivers. I get the same fault sporadically, but like you say select another menu and it goes away. I've tried all sorts of different drivers up to this version of driver and had experienced same fault in each one at some point. I even had this trouble at times with my old TNT card. I tend to think it has to do with the coding being optimized originally for Voodoo 3dfx type cards. D3D was put out purely by a devoted man in his spare time at Papyrus. We owe him a lot of gratitude.
