Voodoo2 Setup and tweaking / 60 Hz and other things
15 December 2004, 12:33:47
So my Obsidian finally works, thanks to the great work of Koolsmoky. Yet some questions remain.

1. The refresh rate in Glide is stuck at 60 Hz, changing it in the V2 control panel is impossible. Is there a third party tool, that might allow changing the V2 refresh rate under Windows 2000 ? I was thinking Vcontrol, but that doesn't even recognize my Obsidian, just says unsupported 3dfx device.

2. The V2 control panel in general. Doesn't see my SLI config, so doesn't offer configuration options for 1024x768. SLI works fine however, games run at 1024x768.

I'm trying to get said card to run with my Radeon 9600 XT under W2K. With the Fastvoodoo 4 GE I get the mapmem error. With the latest hotfix any Glide app simply hangs at 100 % CPU use and the V2 control panel gets removed from the advanced display settings. Further both V2 get installed, but the V2 CP doesn't detect SLI.

System info:
Abit VP6 mainboard, VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset, latest 4in1 installed
Dual P3 800EB, slightly overclocked to 840 (140 MHz FSB)
512 MB PC-150 RAM
Two Seagate 40 GB ATA 100 at HPT370 RAID in RAID 0, latest RAID drivers and BIOS installed
Pioneer DVD-105 and Plextor PX-W 1210A at primary IDE
AGP: the Radeon, using latest Omega drivers
PCI 1: empty, but blocked by secondary USB slot (cable is too short to install above AGP)
PCI 2: Realtek 8139 based 10/100 NIC
PCI 3: Tekram 315U UWSCSI controller with my scanner
PCI 4: SB Live 5.1
PCI 5: the Obsidian
no further slots
OS: Windows 2000 SP4

It's funny, especially seeing that the hotfix Glide files are actually from Q3D. Still the card won't play nice. Help is appreciated.
