The following are steps I took to get the OpenGL drivers (G4601400.exe) to work
with Quake II:

My system is:
PII 400
Abit BX6
128 MB PC100
Diamond G460
Orchid Voodoo II
Diamond M80
Win98

   * switch to default: standard vga drivers
   * reboot
   * completely remove all Diamond In-Control Utilities (Control Panel/Add-Remove
     Programs/Uninstall InControl Tools 98)
   * reboot
   * Install g4601400.exe drivers
   * reboot
   * switch screen to resolution of your choice BUT MAKE SURE YOUR COLOR DEPTH IS
     16 BITS!!!  In order to use the OpenGL drivers, your color depth must be at
     16 bits BEFORE you start an application!!
   * start Quake II
   * select Default OpenGL for driver

Hope this helps.  I personally like the look of the game much better on the G460
with OpenGL than the Voodoo II card.
