No need for a patch, it is rather something you got to remove. In your Quake
directory is supposedly a file called opengl32.dll.
If there is one, remove it. This is a mini-gl driver for 3DFX cards and will
look out for a glide - environment instead of the OpenGL.

GLQuake itself uses standard OpenGL. It will work properly when you remove
this driver.
