"Here's a checklist for playing MacQuake on ATI RAGE PRO boards:
===============================================================
* Download latest drivers from ATI web site.
* ATI Displays control panel set to "Standard" 3D quality. Important!
* QuickDraw 3D 1.5.3 or later extensions
* Video set to thousands of colors
* Quake version 1.08.4 or later.
* Monitor connected to ATI board (duh!)
* Turn off Virtual Memory in the memory control panel. Quake's memory
allocation does not need to be boosted.
* Remove unnecessary extensions, especially ones that work in the
background, like File Sharing, FileSaver, and DiskExpress.
* Make sure your Xclaim board has a RAGE PRO chip. Upgrade if necessary.
(All Nexus GA boards have it.) Quake requires 4 MB frame buffer (min).
* Quake settings:
For highest performance type these commands at Quake console (~ key):
R_WATERALPHA 1.0
R_MIRRORALPHA 1.0
R_FULLBRIGHT 1
{With these settings, I get 31.2 fps on my 9600/233 with an Xclaim VR.}
=================================
For coolest looking graphics:
R_WATERALPHA 0.3
R_MIRRORALPHA 0.3
R_FULLBRIGHT 0
{With these settings, I get 21.1 fps on my 9600/233 with an Xclaim VR.}
BTW, I am using v4.2.2 of the ATI 3D Accelerator driver. To get the
timings, I used this command at the ~ [Tilde ~ key lowers command console-Mike]
