    try vid_mode 3 this works for me
    gl is the way forward tho.
    I am trying to set up gl on a machine with
    an ati also. try ati.com d/l the latest
    drivers get the opengl32.dll file from
    the windows system dir and copy it into
    quake otherwise try glsetup.com

    The tearing could be a result of having vsync off.

    vsynch is off.Download powerstrip and turn it on . It might be possible to turn it on in your drivers but i dont have a rage 128.You could also find a good ATI disscussion board. They would know for sure.

    In keeping with the current trend, my new graphics card has unleashed yet another irritating problem upon me. (this isn't really a tech problem - i think its just something to do with settings)

    When playing normal CA Quake, i am now getting higher FPS (which i excpected) but their is some screen tearing i.e lines across the screen and a lack of clarity (much like many of my earlier posts) ... anyhows seeing as my new card (Rage12 sunglasses.gif can play Q3 and the old one (back of a cereal box) couldn't, i assume it should be improving Quake CA for me not the other way round.

    Is there some CFG command i'm missing?
    Should i continue the hunt for Glide 2x dll and play GL Quake?

    Or should i just take this one to the Tech boards?

    Cheers apu in advance,

    J.
