I have a laptop which I am trying to get glquake running on, so that I can
play multilplayer with my desktop.
Quake runs fine on the laptop, but running glquake everything is white - as
if the textures are not being loaded.  The gfx card is a basic sis chipset.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Allan

hmm not very familar with the sis chipset
if you've got white textures i'd say either the cards drivers are the problem
or it just can't handle glquake

what's your os if it's win2k /XP you'll need to vid upgrade your card drivers

I am using winME on that machine.  glQuake runs really well, but just in
white, I will see if I can get a better gfx driver but I have tried a few.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Allan

do you have the same problems with glqwcl.exe (glquakeworld)
try deleting your autoexe.cfg and config.cfg from id1 
making a backup 1st .
 quake will generate config.cfg automatically on starting
that may clear any strange stetting that's caused it

i valgly remember somthing about a texture bug
what version have you got

tr setting glquake to match your desktop res
check your using 16bit or better windoes colours
