video card probing

Lucifer 2

im sitting on a college computer and i want to play glqw, but i need some video drivers and i dont know what video card is in the computer (think it 3dfx though). im unable to view the display properties as its an nt machine, anyone any ideas...?

Kali

how do you intend to install the drivers ??

i just need to copy glide2x.dll into my quake dir, but if i need to install something i know ways...

Ther is a debug command run from Dos which will return display adapter details
Type debug at a DOS prompt. A dash will appear. Type DC000:0010
Now look at the right hand side of the screen. What do you see ? Specifics of your display adapter, thats what. Type q to quit.

Tip of the day that, no question.
