I just got a rev B motherboard in my iMac rev D and installed the GameWizard. Now my monitor switches off in OpenGL games (light turns orange)! What am I doing wrong? It doesn't do this in Glide games. I'm using 3dfx's Voodoo2 beta 5 drivers (just the Glide 3.x thing and the OpenGL renderer, not the RAVE and Glide 2.x thing) and the GameWizard drivers that came with the card. Please help!!
Also Tomb Raider III gives very weird textures in Glide mode. Anyone else experiencing this?

You're either trying to use 32 bit color or too high a resolution. The voodoo2 is VERY limited in what it can do. Keep it at 640X480.... its a good resolution for such a tiny monitor you wont notice much of a difference anyway. Trash your games preferences, then try again.

Got it to work at 640x480 now. But now the screen is stretched very strangely. How do I fix this?
