Ok very interesting as well diffrent system win98se
loaded refrence drivers for a set of individual voodoo2 cards, then copied in the glide2x.dll and glide3x.dll as refrenced in the topic and the readme of the package. however when launching such as glquake is says to upgrade my version of windows as glide2x expected a diffrent version. i thought it clearly said for 98/me to copy these into the windows\system folder?

there is no control panel in the driver.try the Voodoo2 Tweaker V1.1 from here: http://www.falconfly.de/tools.htm ,it should help you to adjust the gamma.

as for quake,you will need a standalone opengl driver to get it working-for this game,I  would recommend wickedgl: http://helppage.3dfx.sk/#wickedgl

rockin! yea shortly after i made that post i figured something like that. so i dug through my old archives and found a few opengl miniports plopped one in and voila!  got the twear you suggested, SPOT ON works perfect and is alot easier then messing with other ways.
going to try that wicked GL miniport next, but timedemo so far in excess of 150fps with vsync off @ 1024x768
NICE!

Well i've installed the drivers,
and since that time as i've imaged the drive incase i borked things up.
i've had to restore it to that state before ever installing any 3dfx drivers.

so far i've tried the drivers from this post, and they don't give a control panel in the display settings. also i've tried original gl quake and a few others and all yield results of a black screen.
i then removed the miniport from the quake folder that the video came up but gamma was really low. so the picture was very dark. i've tried a number of way s to get this working and a few other driver set's and i keep getting stumped.
i either get a blank screen and no game sounds. or ai get very low frame rate and very dark gamma. i know long ago i got this working and got a time demo of 80 fps but i'll be darn if i can recall what i did
only one that came out was an old build of Darkplaces quake engine
