Q3 Vsync bug with DH?
Thank you Matrox for the new TGL !!! You gave us a nice christmas present :-)
But I have some problems with it in Q3.
I have installed the latest powerdesk (5.41) last week. Everything OK..no problems at all.
Today I downloaded the new TGL drivers and everything was ok. I started up Q3A and was impressed by the higher fps. No problems so far.
30 minutes later I wanted to play Q3A again and when the intro animation (the ID logo) should appear, my screen turned white and the system crashed (white screen).
I rebooted and disabled the turboGL drivers. Now my system didn't crash, but my screen went white with a very fast scrolling black bar on it. I could hear the sounds and everything worked ok (except the screen). This was exactly thesame behaviour when I tried to disable the Vsync feature with MGAtweak. I solved it last time by uninstalling powerdesk with the uninstall prog (from the utils section) and reinstalling it. This way, all settings are erased.
Again (after the reinstallation), I could start Q3A only once (with the TGL). The 2nd time, it showed again the white screen and a total crash.
The next reboot, I disabled the dualhead (desktop expanding) feature (not just the 2nd monitor). After the required restart, I started Q3A again (without changing a thing since the last crash), and everything worked OK...
Before the next reboot (and the last one before I wrote this message :-) I turned the dualhead back on, and now Q3A crashes again.
I would guess that when dualhead is enabled, Q3 has a problem if the Vsync setting is disabled. And that the TGL driver disable it by default.
Has anyone had thesame problems? (I also tried powerdesk5.3, but it had thesame problem).

PS. I run Q3 in 800/600 in 'highest quality' mode.
