No OpenGL with Q2 and G200

[teznic2]

I cant seem to get Quake 2 to run with OpenGL using my G200. I'm running Matrox PowerDesk version 6.14.051, DX8.0a, and ran opengl setup. All my other games run fine. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

First check out if there is an opengl32.dll in the q2 folder. Delete it.
Be sure to be in 16 or 32 bit desktop, not 24.
If you used GlSetup, it may as well have screwed you driver instalation. That must be the sadest program I´ve seem on ages, now that every major videocard manufacturer includes an OpenGl ICD in the drivers.

Try unninstalling Matrox drivers and installing it again. You should do that even if you are running in 24 bit mode (very common) because GLSetup can have installed an old version of Matrox drivers.

switched to 32bit and worked

Don't use GLSetup !!!

It always 'recommends' outdated drivers ...
