Are these somehow incompatible?
I put my k6/3 machine back together:
ga5ax with k6/3 450
v2sli
g200 agp
gus ace, ews64xl, db50xg
win 98 first ed
used to run fine but mainly i would have used a gf2 ti or s3 of some sort. With this matrox - glquake crashes the system [black screen, monitor goes into standby] and avp only allows selection of matrox modes.
tried latest v2 ref drivers, fast voodoo2 4.6, wickedgl, 3dfxgl. dx7.0a, and dx8.1. no difference. it's like the matrox causes the v2's to be ignored.
I don't care if matrox may be faster, that does not interest me [plenty other pcs for speed], i wanted to use the v2s specifically for old times sake.
diablo2 vidtest crashes too now, so i will reinstall directx, but previously [yesterday] it detected g200 and v2s and suggested matrox which i thought was weird too - expected it to suggest glide. no matter, this machine is too slow for playing d2 anyway.
anything i should be checking to solve this v2 problem?
like i said, board used to run this setup fine [though maybe not with g200, and thats the card i want to use right now].
