I'm having a lot of problems running GLQuake on my Monster Voodoo (the
first one).  The first problem is that GLQuake keeps locking up and
looping the same audio over and over.  I have to do a Ctrl+Alt+Delete
to get it to shut down.  The other thing that also happens (though not
at the same time) is that my screen gets real fuzzy, as if someone took
a hammer to my monitor all of a sudden and knocked the picture askew.
It ranges from kind of fuzzy (where I can't read text) to very fuzzy
(where all I see are polygon shapes).  Someone suggested that maybe my
card was overheating.  I have tried playing with the case off and a fan
pointed inside my case but it seems to lock up even more quickly then.
Anybody got any ideas on what to do?  I'm running the latest drivers (I
think- GL 0.98).  I used to have GLQuake installed on this computer
before with this same configuration with no problems.  Is it possible
my card has just gone bad?  Does that ever happen?
