Re: GPL Question

You should install the GPL - OpenGL patch, in order to get your videocard to run with GPL.

Hi All, After hearing all the raves, I finally purchased GPL. After installation, it is not performing right. I am running a 550mz Athlon, 128mb ram w/ a Diamond Stealth III S540 w/32mb ram on board. I am getting a flickering mouse cursor and little boxes that follow the cursor around, flickering and showing through to the previous screen, along with only 640 res. and a sky made up of blocks of color. Nascar3 runs superb using Direct3D. Is the sim only set up for 3dfx or rendition? I've tried removing/reinstalling but GPL will not (or cannot) detect any hardware acceleration. At this point, any kind souls who could supply some advice would be most appreciated. -Brian www.brianmclernon.com

Your only chance will be the OpenGL patch at http://www.papy.com/gpl/gpl.download.index.html and while you'll there, don't forget to download the 1.2 patch.... Remco "Brian McLernon" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Does the Savage even work with the opengl patch? I thougt I remembered TNT users saying the opengl patch was targeted at TNT's so that even other cards that DO run opengl had problems. Anyone? dave henrie Martyn Danby wrote:

I have a Creative Savage 4 and I can't get the open GL patch to work with it. I use a Voodoo 2 for GPL which works quite well.
