A few of you have asked about this, so I'm going to post the 'solution' one
more time.

I don't think the new drivers (P3D2W9x14004.exe) on Canopus' website provides
complete OpenGL compatibility.  When I installed Quake 3 Test v1.07 on my PC,
after installing the new Canopus drivers, it did detect the Voodoo OpenGL,
but preferred the Matrox OpenGL drivers instead.  When I selected Voodoo
with OGL extensions, I was able to configure it, but trying to run it in
1024x768 crashed it.  I didn't bother trying other resolutions.  (After
all, when you have SLI, why bother with other resolutions?)  :-)

And, of course, GLSETUP is no solution, because they don't even provide
Voodoo2 drivers yet.

Instead, I went to 3dfx's website and downloaded their latest Voodoo2
reference drivers (the one that claims to be Q3TEST compatible).  I
unzipped the contents to a directory and spotted the OpenGL driver,
which is labeled "3dfxVGL.dll" ...  I took this file and copied it to
the Q3TEST directory on my hard-drive.  Selected "Voodoo" instead of
"Default" once again in the Quake3 Test setup menu, made my adjustments,
chose 1024x768 and ... VOILA!  Runs perfectly!  Great visuals and a good 
framerate.

So, if anyone tells you that your non-3dfx Voodoo2 is incapable of running
Q3Test, try this, and I'll bet you will be able to prove them wrong.
