  • console gibberish - please translate!

    Anyone knows how to make my q3demo work properly again. I've tried reinstalling the g400 driver, the game, the turboGL etc.
    The message in the q3 console at "startup" looks like this:

    Initializing OpenGL subsystem
    ...initializing QGL
    ...calling LoadLibrary( 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\opengl32.dll' ): succeeded
    ...setting mode 5: 960 720 FS

    ...shutting down QGL
    GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

    I tried removing the "q3config.cfg" file, which made it possible to proceed to the main meny, but then it froze TOTALLY when "awaiting snapshot..." - what do I do?

    Please, I miss my Q3!

    by the way, how or when is a chaste mini-murcer like my humble self promoted to a hairy seen-it-all/ done-it-all MURC?

    You're trying to run q3 in 960x720, which isnt really supported by the g400.. You can get a regsitry patch or something to fix it, but it's better just to run it in 800x600

      Thx nufan, maybe that helped a bit too, but anyway, since I reinstalled my newly purchased cordless Logitech, the game is back to normal - that is now it freezes white at launch whenever I try to enable the g400 TurboGL - didn't do that before?!?

        With your system, you should be using 5.30, not 5.50.
        Then your TurboGL will work...

            It's fairly well know (to the regulars at these forums at least) that most K6xxx based system won't run TurboGL with anything over 5.30. Matrox is fully aware of this problem, and are working on fixing it. Full openGL may work with newer drivers+K6 (with some issues), but probably not TGL....
