Creative Labs Products Graphics Voodoo2 page has a new beta 1.1.2.0025 release of an optimized mini-GL driver for both the 3D Blaster Banshee and the 3D Blaster Voodoo2. Thanks Von. According to the update, "you must be running Creative Labs drivers for the mini-GL to install and operate properly." The update is dated July 28 (and says the driver date is July 23), tough I haven't seen word of it previously. According to the site, the new driver "includes several improvements from the June 16th release," including:

• Support for Quake3 Test 2 (Version 1.07)
• Support for Quake3 Test 2 (Version 1.06)
• Support for Tribes
• Performance Improvements
• Corrected Lighting Issues in Quake3
• Installs newer Glide files to provide better gamma support
