    Q3Test + G400 + 32Bit???

    Does any one know why the G400SH runs 32bit in q3test in CGA (4 color) and ALL to the left. (Half Screen) 16bits seems to to work fine but 32bit runs CGA+Half. Help!!

    System config is SS7 K6-2/400 + 128 PC100

    when in 32 bit mode, minimize your window then go back to full screen, see if this fixes it.

    Is this some kind of bust?
    Yes, it's very impressive.

        I'm going to go out on a limb here, and give... the same answer I always give to SS7 folks:

        Get a real chipset.

        Ok, that having been said, try:

        1. Get the latest BIOS patch from ALI, VIA, or your motherboard manufacturer.
        2. Get the latest DRIVERS for the IDE, AGP, etc. from your mobo manufacturer, or wherever.
        3. Go into the BIOS, and fiddle with:

        - video bios caching
        - video shadowing
        - video ram caching
        - agp speeds
        - burst write combining (or whatever it's called on an SS7)

        I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
        If only life were as easy as you
        I would still get screwed

          Any time you want to change any options, make the game run in a window. Then change the options you want, then go back to full screen.

          I saw the same thing you are seeing, but doing it like this, I don't see it any more...

            It's a known bug, but there are bugs priorities right now, i am sure it will be attacked soon. The simple thing to do right now is exit and launch it again, since it will save the settings. If your screen gets totally out of whack, go to the console and type quit then run it again.

              Yep, That did it R0M. I set it to 32Bit, exit the game, then went back in. Is this being addressed in the next driver release?

                Gurm,

                Will the matroxG400max work fine on a intel440BX chipset?
