Off the top of my head, I don't believe Q2 supported anything other than 
software or opengl. There were some optimised settings for 3dfx cards, 
but IIRC they would have been OpenGL  - just optimised to cater for some 
of the stuff that 3dfx cards did at the time. Please bear in mind the 
fact that direct3d was only on about version 3 at the time Q2 emerged.

Quake II is GL or software DX, other than that you are fucked.
