D3D is a moot point when playing QuakeII. It *ONLY* uses the M3d
assuming you have powervr gl selected. It does not use D3D at all. Any
problems in QuakeII are either 1) because you have a virus, your win95
is screwed up whatever, or 2) Your matrox m3d card is toast or
incompatible (hardware problems) with some other aspect of your system.
