Troubleshooting Voodoo2
-------------------------------

####

Q: I have an S3 968/868 video card, why does my system lock
up when I run a Glide or Direct3D title.

A: S3 968 and 868 chipsets may misreport the mapped memory used.
There is a chance that your Voodoo2 card will be assigned by 
Plug and Play a memory range that is used by the S3 card, but
not reported.   The Voodoo2 card can be relocated by:

	Windows NT Users: An NT service called NTREMAP is 
        installed when Glide is added to an NT system.
	NTREMAP can change the memory address of a Voodoo2 
	board and prevent a conflict with an S3 card.

	To use NTREMAP, add the following registry values to:
	\HKLM\Software\3dfx Interactive\NTRemap
	
	Value Name	Type	Value
	----------      ----    -----
	EnableNTRemap	DWORD	1 (HEX) 
	ForceAddress	DWORD	12000000 (HEX)

	The Force Address setting will vary, in this example
	0x12000000 is used.  This is normally free on most
	systems.

	NOTE: If you use an address that over-writes another
	device, Windows NT may not boot.  If such a problem 
	occurs, power off the system and remove your Voodoo2.
	Alter the registry to use a different memory range 
	(or remove the ForceAddress setting). Then Reinstall
	the Voodoo2 card into your system.



OpenGL(r) ICD: Known Limitations
----------------------------------
The OpenGL ICD included with this kit is meant for use with OpenGL based
