ZDoom 2.0.98 Bugfixing bugfix release

That sounds like it creates an incorrect z-buffer. This sounds suspiciously like a driver bug. I'll add a '-nostencil' option to the next release. If it still screws up with that I'm out of ideas.

That seems to happen often when you get Microsoft's software OpenGL driver. Any possibility MS's software driver would get picked over the hardware one when using windowed mode?

Sure something like that can happen when the driver is buggy. Windows' GL initialization API is pure shit and crap like this really doesn't surprise me. The driver should at least report that the returned mode isn't accelerated which I suspect is the problem here.

You can check the GL_VENDOR and/or GL_RENDERER strings (I forget which) for Microsoft's values, and fail if it matches.

I'm happy with the GL libs nvidia provides. Both Windows and Linux.
What's the big deal? After all, the interface is the same, so the user can select at runtime which library to use.

That library behaves properly. In this case I get a context from the driver but it doesn't behave properly. Normally a driver should indicate if there's some feature requested that isn't supported in hardware.
