I'm surprised that GZDoom is working at all with that card. It's way too old to support most advanced features.

That graphics card can even run quake2, at a smooth frame rate. For 4mb it’s really good

No that would be my P133 with a 1MB Trident that was so old even the official site didn't have drivers for it any more.

Software mode yes (since open gl dosent work) but it can handle a bigger screen size (such as 1024 x 768)

In software rendering mode the graphics card doesn't do anything for you - so it doesn't run the game at all.

I had a Mystique back in 1997 but that card was far too limited for any game which is why I also had a Voodoo.

If you already know OpenGL doesn't work in other games, why would you expect GZDoom to work for you in OpenGL mode?

no, its software mode that has the glitch.

Well, you can hold the insults for the next 48 hours, I'm going to see if I can get my 3d Graphics card to work again, its been in my computer collecting dust for about 10 months. I just come home and knock my p.c out of suspend and it’s not switching on. Those where the days when I had 2 monitors running on my p.c
