[jediphoenix]

When I run 3dmark2000 on my k6-2 450 128 megs of ram and g400 32 sh, the ground flashes all kinds fo different colors during the all the helicopter scenes. Is this normal? Im using the 5.30 drivers.

well answered my own question not that it makes me any happier DAMN another driver bug this is from 3dmark2000 support page


3DMark2000 FAQ - Matrox 3D Accelerators
Matrox G400 Series

Q: The fogging in Game 1 - Helicopter landscape is too bright on Matrox G400 A: Matrox G400 5.30 driver does not handle the material correctly and therefore applies the fogging twice which makes the landscape to fog white instead of the sky color.

Q: The landscape texture in Game 1 - Helicopter flashes with different colors
A: Matrox G400 5.30 driver has probably a bug when rendering the landscape.
