GPL and Radeon 9700 pro

I just went from a Voodoo 5 to a Radeon 9700 pro and the problem i have in GPL is it won't let me pick any resolutions past 640x480 any ideas whats up with that. I loved the Voodoo 5 in GPL but i think it was time to replace her because i also like the Combat Flight Sims as well and the Voodoo card was really showing it's age in these. Any help would be great. Thanks Everyone! Steve.

Interested to see the replies, I'm going from a V3 to an R9700 Pro. Aside from GPL, what is your experience so far?

Hi Steve, Originally, GPL only supported 3dfx and Rendition 3D graphics cards. So now you have replaced your Voodoo with an unsupported card GPL has reverted to the software rasteriser. What You need is the Direct 3D or OpenGL rasteriser which allows GPL to use other 3D cards. I find the OpenGL rasteriser to give better performance with my Geforce3 card but I don't know which will be best for your Radeon. The best bet is to install both and see which is best. You can get them both here http://gplpp.com/ under utilities. Then select D3D Rasteriser and OpenGL rasteriser fix Note: there was a bug in the original OpenGL patch so you want the one at the bottom of the screen that has been modified by Willi Herrman.

GPL works fine for me with the Radeon 9700Pro. Using D3D patch. I can't get OpenGL to work (with any sims) with this card, but I don't care because the D3D is so great. Bert Russell Spearing wrote:

OpenGL is much better than D3D (@ least in GPL) w. the Radeons. Keep trying.

I'm wrong. Tried to get OpenGL to perform properly w. my ATI but stymied. What worked spectacularly well w. GF was worse than D3D w. the ATI. Back to D3D. Got confused when I swapped GF4 and ATI back & forth testing some other stuff. Sorry. (Still love WillHerr's patch w. the GF, tho!)

Aside from the menu corruption issue in GPL (mostly fixed in the 3.1 drivers), the card is fantastic and runs every game I've tried perfectly. rms [email hidden]
