OpenGL fails on my videocard

Post by defanatic »

I'm using a Radeon 9200 on my (old) computer, and it runs most things fine. However, games like Quake 3, Call of Duty, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein don't work. They all have the same lines in the console, saying:

...GLW_ChoosePFD( 32, 24, 8 )
...35 PFDs found
...GLW_ChoosePFD failed
...GLW_ChoosePFD( 32, 24, 0 )
...35 PFDs found
...GLW_ChoosePFD failed
...failed to find an appropriate PIXELFORMAT
...restoring display settings
...WARNING: could not set the given mode (3)
...shutting down QGL
...unloading OpenGL DLL
----- CL_Shutdown -----
RE_Shutdown( 1 )
-----------------------
Hunk_Clear: reset the hunk ok
Could not load OpenGL. Make sure that you have the latest drivers for your video card from the manufacturer's web site.

I don't know what to make of that... Also, I have to pay for downloads at 4c a megabyte, so I want to have minimal downloads.

Looks like your drivers are out of date - you'll have to download new ones, unfortunately.
