This may not be related to the no-map problem, but I have experiences
wierd video behavior on Riva TNT as well. It is Dark Omen and the game
fails to display the person portrait during the conversation cut-scene.
Where the person face should be, there is only a blank box. It is very
likely that Riva TNT may need to come up with a bug fix for their
2D driver. (There is no such problem with my trusty and slow S3ViRGE)
