No Alt-Tabbing with TurboGL ?

[wossName]

Hi,

since I installed the TurboGL, I can't use Alt-Tab to switch to other programs (mIRC or what-have-you) from OpenGL games. Quake2, Quake3 and Half-Life supported this on the Voodoo2, but since I configured them to use the G400, it doesn't work anymore !
In Quake2 there's a "win_noalttab" variable, but it is already set to zero. The funny thing is that when I set it to one and then to zero again I can Alt-Tab out of Quake2, but when I try to switch back my computer locks up with a grey screen.

I'm using PD 5.30, a K6-3 and the currently released TurboGL.

Is this a bug ? It is very annyoing to have to quit a game just to type a few lines in mIRC (for example).

Regards,

This seems to be an issue with the TurboGL, at least for me. I recall that a solution to the mousewheel problem was to alt-tab out and back, and I couldn't, either.

er, isnt this a DX7 problem?
Its been known for a while now that Direct 7 fouled up the Alt-Tab function. Try Alt-Ent, this should take from full screen to a window, then you can Alt-tab.

But why does it work on a Voodoo2 then ?
The only difference here is the OpenGL driver and underlying card used, nothing to do with DirectX.
I'll try it though.
