Yeah, something like that'd be cool. Well, *is* there something like that 
for Windows anyway? :)

It like seems that glboom doesn't even want to try loading. HD light 
flashes once, and that's it. But if I remove opengl32.dll (and probably 
glu(t)32.dll if it used them), it says that those are missing. At least it 
does something, checks for the DLL:s :P

Now I remember that I couldn't make DoomGL working with the same drivers, 
it said something like "undefined call to an export function in 
GLU32.DLL:GL_bla-bla-bla-something", but Legacy works.

But I'm almost completely sure that those drivers and .dll:s are 100% the 
same as those working drivers at my P166.

Yeah, maybe...

Well, there *have* sometimes been very odd and behaviour just caused by 
some BIOS setting.... gosh I love PC hardware :P

Nah, Doom Legacy definitely is in hardware 3d accelerated mode, it's just 
bit slow on open areas and such, you know, a P133 is not really a huge 
speed beast ;)
