        Make sure you have the newest driver for your card. Another thing
 to make sure about is that you copied the opengl32.dll from your
 c:\windows\system directory to the Quake directory. It will overwrite
 the one that came with GLQuake.
        Do you know what SiS graphics chip the notebook is using? If it is
 pretty old, it may not have OpenGL compatability.

Do not copy opengl32.dll from anywhere else to the quake directory
simply delete opengl32.dll from the quake directory
glquake will then use whatever drivers are installed for the video card

copying opengl32.dll from windows\system will copy the ms opengl32.dll
which uses software rendering. ,it won't use hardware 3d exceleration.
 you'll be handy capping the card severely
you wont get the max fps.
if all else fails then try using the above method
