System: P2-400Mhz, Voodoo3 2000 PCI, Win98SE (unpatched)

When I run GLQuake with Glide, it runs perfectly, but at 640x400x16. Looks great, but there is an 80 pixel space at the top. I've tried creating an MS-DOS Prompt shortcut and adding -width 800 -height 600 to the end of the command line. What happens is it starts, I see the "Starting Quake" rectangle in the center of the screen, then I see the 3dfx logo, then I get a black screen with a mouse cursor. The mouse cursor moves around, but disappears towards the edges of the screen. I can't ALT-TAB back to the desktop, and CTRL-ALT-DEL does nothing. I have to hit the power button on the PC. I've also tried -width 1024 -height 768 and that does the same thing. These resolutions work fine on the Windows desktop, and they work in Half Life.

I've also tried opening an MS-DOS command prompt window, navigating to the Quake folder, and launching from there:
c:\windows\desktop\quake\glquake.exe -width 1024 -height 768
Same issue.

I'm running the AmigaMerlin drivers.

I've renamed the opengl32.dll driver in the folder to force the native Glide driver.

Any ideas?

Try the attached version.

My process for installing GLQuake:

- Burn the BIN / CUE from GOG.com
- Install Win Quake
- At the end it asks for GLQuake and 3dfx support: Say no!
- Then run the GLQuake installer

V3 has full OpenGL support and is fast enough, so it should work out of the box. MiniGL can boost performance, but one thing at a time.

For benchmark for example I use this shortcut:

glquake.exe +timedemo demo1 -width 1024 -height 768 -bpp 16 -nocdaudio

For gaming this should work:

glquake.exe -width 1024 -height 768 -bpp 16

Thx, I'll give it a go, Phil.

GLQuake includes the very old minigl version (1.1?). It may be even pre-Voodoo2 so 640x480 only.
Just update to versions 1.47 or 1.49 and try again. These versions work correctly up to 1024x768 for me.
