Title: Voodoo2 support regressed
Post by: fromhell on February 20, 2010, 02:05:41 PM
Or, at least I can't even get anything to display through 1/17/00 3dfxvgl.dll on a Voodoo2 card with latest openarena_deprecated.exe. MesaFX doesn't work either. Could be an SDL issue.

Software GL works, but it SHOULDN'T WORK, r_allowSoftwareGL is 0!





FYI NOTE: Voodoo2 is a secondary video adapter displaying via a VGA cable chain

In this I think I know why it happens. SDL is attempting to force a 32-bit color mode which the Voodoo2 can not do.  Testing a different chipset on another computer, I can not get to 16-bit color fullscreen at all, not by video menu, or even setting desktop depth to 16-bit then setting color depth to desktop...

MesaFX did it but brightness broken

This is bad because I can't use any optimized ICDs for performance. oa_bases7 runs 7fps (which is bad)
