Did anyone have black screen problems with the Voodoo2 DirectX 6.1 drivers when running Quake 3 Arena (Demo or Demo Test only)? I haven't been able to run Q3A yet because of this. I'm gonna try these DirectX 7 drivers.
The thing is there betas... which usually means trouble...

Ok, the original message was about graphics drivers, but thats not entirely true.
Remember that DirectX includes:
DirectDraw
Direct3D
DirectSound
DirectInput
and so on...
I reccon if it's a Win32 app then it uses the DirectXCore for sound output, joysticks and stuff.
