Okay,
I managed to get Kingpin & Half Life working in OpenGL mode on my Matrox
G400 by re-installing the 5.41 drivers. But I am still experiencing lockups
and freezes. They tend to be random as they can happen anytime. Usually,
there is still sound flowing in the background.
Heres what I've tried:
Moving the card to the furthest PCI slot from the AGP slot (Only solves
garbled graphics freeze up on the Windows 98 Desktop)
Setting AGP Fallback To '0' in the Registry.
Disabling Force AGP 2x
Disabling Dual Head
Other than that, the games works fine. I've got Bus Mastering Enabled.
That is proberbly the source of this problem but if I have it disabled then
OpenGL games will NOT WORK! Majority of them causes a General Protection
fault at start up. So I have to have Bus Mastering Enabled in Order to
start them up in OpenGL mode. D3D games lock up when Bus Mastering is
enabled.
I need help on running Games Like Kingpin & Half Life in OpenGL with Bus
Mastering Disabled!
Anyone managed to get Kingpin & HalfLife running with out having Bus
Mastering Enabled?? Is that possible?
could this be the problem with Win 98 SE!!
If anyone has any ideas, please e-mail me below!!
Also, which IRQ is your Matrox using? and SB Live if you've got one!
Here are my specs:
PII 338Mhz (Overclocked from 300)
Matrox G400 32Mb AGP Dual Head
SB Live! PCI
Elite Group 440LX Motherboard
Windows 98 SE
PDesk 5.41 Drivers
DirectX 7
Matrox G400: IRQ 09
No Conflicts
