Old Video card - Has GL, but not installed by default - hep hep


It's an old ELSA card with a S3 Virge chipset. I /know/ it has OpenGL because i use to use it for Softimage back on WindowsNT.

Quake3 (which is this machines only purpose) cannot find "GL_Subsystem" so, how would one go about enablign such support? Never had to mess with this and i have no idea on where to start.
