Playing Maple Without 3D acceleration?

Yikes...that is an old and obscure graphics chipset
It's on an old IBM thinkpad right?

Anyway, after doing some research, it seems this card's drivers suck, and it really can't support hardware 3D, just like you said. Lots of people had issues with it.
I think you're kinda out of luck (even if you got it to work, it'll most likely lag bad)

yea, ok. I was just wondering if I could bypass that req. or something, but I guess I'm out of luck. And yes it was a old IBM thinkpad 600X.
