I've just had to reinstall FS and didnt have the chance to backup anything on it Sad

on the last install someone told me how to get reflective textures to work on a GeForce 4 MX card. By default, even with checkboxes set, the card would refuse to do them. Its got somting to do with changing a line in the display.cfg
Ring any bells for anyone?

I remember that there is a fix for it, but I don't know what it is

Oh Maccers, you are a silly boy, here is the answer!
Depending which card you have, add one of the following lines to your diplay.cfg file at the end of the GeForce 2 section:

NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 460
[000010DE:00000170]
DriverValidate2=1

NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440
[000010DE:00000171]
DriverValidate2=1

NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420
[000010DE:00000172]
DriverValidate2=1

And don't do it again!
