Need help from someone who has GPL working with G200

4 posts by 3 people · 06 Nov 1998 - 07 Nov 1998

Looking for any tips if you got this working. With mine, I see the opening splash screen, minus the number code at bottom and then it dumps me back to my desktop. It works fine on my Voodoo 1 card. What settings are you using with your Matrox? Did you need to turn off or on any of the advanced properties of the G200?

Hi Daniel, I did get my G200 to work. Fortunately it worked off-the-bat. I haven't given it a full test, but it did get 30fps. I think it was stuck at a max of 30fps because my screen refresh was 60Hz. (60/2 = 30) Just the groove graphic looks bad as documented in the patch. However, trying to get my system working with my Monster1 was really frustrating. I had to do a clean install of Win98. I still haven't upgraded my SB AWE64 drivers from the Win98 defaults -- I believed that was the problem and am a bit hesitant to install the new SB drivers. I'm using DirectX 6. > Looking for any tips if you got this working. With mine, I see the opening > splash screen, minus the number code at bottom and then it dumps me back to > my desktop.

Make sure 32 bit Z-buffer is NOT checked. (Makes the card really slow) My Matrox drivers are as follows (as seen from the Matrox Display Information tab): Mystique G200 BIOS: 1.5 Display driver 4.10.01.4260 VDD version 4.10.01.4260 Powerdesk version 4.26.026 DirectDraw/Direct3D 4.10.01.4260 DirectX DirectX 6.0 -- Jason Monds Used to be "The Clapper" in GPL! theCLAPPER in Kali (Remove 'no spork' when replying)
