OK, here's the thing - I'm not sure how this dgVoodoo program even works. The readme states that to run Windows applications (I'm trying to run the Windows version of Carmageddon) all I need to do is "Just copy file GLIDE2X.DLL into your windows directory (usually C:\WINDOWS). After doing this, win apps should work." However, I can't help but feel I'm supposed to be doing something else because either way when I run the game (after changing settings in the setup) it's still running 320X230.

So yeah, as stupid as this question sounds, what am I missing here?

There isn't one. Carmageddon doesn't have an option to change the resolution manually. The only way you can do it is by adding -hires to the command line but that only allows 640x480. I read on wiki that you could get much higher resolutions in the game using dgVoodoo though. I just don't how.

I've also installed the 3dfx patch but which appears to use dgVoodoo, but it just hangs on me without giving an error message.
