I believe you need the 2.53 version of Glide instead of 2.54.
That fixed it for me.

Get the Glidewrapper patch which was written specifically for the
Banshee card at

Do you have 'force triple color buffering for glide apps' enabled in
your 3dfx display properties? If so, don't do that.

None of these are an option for the Voodoo1 card which uses a completely
different driver collection than the Voodoo2 card. Try turning off all
of the advanced options for your Voodoo1 card (especially triple color
buffering).

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your suggestion. Where do I find that triple buffering
option? I checked last night by looking the display properties setup,
but the only stuff available under Voodoo setup is "lock gamma" or
something, nothing about triple buffering.
i would be very happy if someone could point this out.
Thanks,
hoover (who prefers text-based config files as found in Linux ;-)
