I'm using the OpenGL Beta 2 patch for GPL and can't get the mirrors to work properly on my Guillemot GeForce DDR/DVI. When I set mirrors=1 they flicker horrendously. M=2 and bottom 1/2 is fine. Top half shows whats in the top left corner of screen. M=3 is flicker city again but slower. M=4 is 4 parts, going from bottom to top they are: Normal, Top of screen, Normal, Top of screen. I didn't go beyond 4 and 0 is same as 1. I'm using Guillemot's drivers with DX7a. I also have trouble with steering. I'm using the MS FF Wheel and have linearity set to full with no hack installed that I remember. I'm using V1.2 of GPL. I seem to allways end up weaving down the straights. I also get a weird jerk to the right alot on straights. Is this a setting in the game I can adjust? Or should I look at a different wheel. I'm not REAL please with the MS wheel but I love the pedals, cept the brake pedal (can't keep squash ball 1/2 from sliding off to the side). Kinda leaning toward either the Act Labs with shifter or a TSW, wish they had a FF TSW. Any help would be appreciated. Especially on the mirrors. Thanks Steve-S #63 Warbirds Chevy Monte Carlo

In the Open GL settings for your video card, select "Use Block Transfer" for the Buffer Flipping Mode item. -- Jim Hiebert in St. Paul, MN [email hidden] Steve Sarlls <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I'm using the OpenGL Beta 2 patch for GPL and can't get the mirrors to > work properly on my Guillemot GeForce DDR/DVI.
