Many things are said to be possible.
On W2K/XP it will work, NT4 nope. Face it.

Maybe your card is using the wrong default monitor in ATI's config under NT?
Is there an option under display properties?  Do other OpenGL games work?

This used to happen to me with my old Rage 128 Pro. The drivers that were 
on the CD that came with it just gave blank screens in openGL games like 
Q3. The solution for me was to download some new drivers. That's probably 
not much help to you, though. ;-)

Correction:

The OpenGL WinNT Screensavers do *not* work.
I remembered that wrong.

Please, has anybody made OpenGL run on WinNT
using a Sapphire Radeon 9000 Atlantis?

Hi there,
            dunno if this is anything to do with it but just try and remove
(rename) your dll called something like opengl32.dll
I just upgraded from an old 3dfx card to a radeon 9700 and could only run in
software mode, running glquake gave me some glide error but ditching the
opengl32.dll worked for me.

this makes all OpenGL applications (including Quake3) yield an error
message.

just to let you know:

Sapphire Support recommended to me
downloading driver version 7.80, but
they did not read my email properly:
That driver is *not* available for WinNT.
Argh....
Problem still unsolved
