Re: GPL glide patch?

I believe they are talking about the Banshee patch. I think it was originally done by George Smiley primarily to fix texture corruption problems with Banshee cards. It would do the same with voodoo3's but made the menus wierd. It does some other things like solve some monitor refresh rate problems and allow the mirror refresh to be slowed down. I've never used it but think you can get it at www.the-fastlane.com In article <[email hidden]>, Gregor Veble <[email hidden]> wrote:

Someone posted that they used a glide patch on GPL. I asked where to get it, but recieved no response yet. Where is this patch and why is it needed? I have the official GPL patch and see no problems so just what does this glide patch do? I have a V3. -- Nos

There used to be aproblem with earlier versions of GPL and Voodoo cards with more than 2MB texture memory. It was fixed with the patches, otherwise it was necessary to tweak the Voodoo cards in order to limit them to 2MB texture memory (not really a patch as far as I recall). -Gregor

with gpl v1.2 and a V3 you don't need any other patches. The glide patch was for the V2's. dave henrie Nos wrote:

I think the references to the patch in question was relating to getting GPL working under W2K. It is necessary to use that patch with V3s under W2K with GPL, otherwise it crashes on the menu screens. I'm sure if you check back that was the issue. Iain Nos <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
