Correct me, but I don't think you can run hardware accelerated OpenGL quake with a Riva card under SVGAlib. The Riva GLX module only works if you are running X, I think. You will need SVGAlib if you want to run Quake with Glide on a Voodoo based card, though. Glide-Quake uses SVGAlib to manage access to the mouse and stuff, but soon after you typed "glquake" the Voodoo-Card takes control. I have a Riva 128 here, which is not very good supported by SVGAlib, but enough to start GLQuake on the console with my old Voodoo I card. The new Riva X-Server can start quake2 with the OpenGL-Renderer, but then the framerate is only about 1 frame every 70 seconds. I'll never frag anyone this way ;( 1/70 fps looks exactly like pure software rendering, something is wrong in your setup __ __ Frank Barknecht ____ ______ ____ __ trip\ \ / /wire ______ OK
