GPL on a laptop - update

1 post by 1 person · 09 Jun 2000 - 09 Jun 2000

In case anyone cares, GPL will *not* work in OpenGL mode on a laptop with the Savage Mobile chipset. I've tried all sorts of drivers and core.ini setting, but no luck. It crashes as soon as I leave the pits. Glide wrappers also don't work. OGL - D3D translaters also don't work. Oh well.... sigh. On the other hand, the demo for NFS:PU looks fabulous on this notebook, and fairly flies along. Toshiba packs a really nice TFT panel in their notebooks, and the difference between 16-bit and 32-bit mode is noticeable. It's such a nice driving feel I think I will forget about the GPL crusade for a while. Oh, and Rally Masters also screams along on this laptop chip. Mobile simming is a reality now. I am already thinking of the fun possibilities of a Rally Masters LAN party. Stephen
