Recently, I purchased Quake III Arena, and it required new drivers for the
OpenGL chipset.  After installing them, anything that had text involved,
seemed to function fine, until someone used the Backspace key.  When used,
the cursor will backup but the text is not erased to from the screen.  It
seems  like the redraw for this is not working properly.
Quake III Arena requires drivers newer than the ones published on the
creative labs website.  Are there any OpenGL driver up dates available that
may not cause this problem?

The refrence drivers at www.3dfxgamers.com have very good OpenGL drivers.. I
like to use that one over the one provided by GLSetup simply for the reason
that I don't have to do much tweaking or other things...  Simply install
those drivers and Q3 should work just fine... Make sure you get rename or
get rid of 3dfxvgl.dll or opengl32.dll in the Quake 3 directory though...
