[quake2] OpenGL Hard Locks

[Mik Mifflin]

After upgrading to X4.2, trying numerous other drivers, etc, etc, etc, I was 
finally able to at least find something else that duplicated the locking 
behavior, a quake 3 bsp viewer.  Since this is no longer a quake2 related 
problem (I thought it was quake2 at first, but I didn't want to point any 
fingers outright :)), I'll take it elsewhere.

I was looking forward to pick up my mod coding (from a LOOONG time ago), but 
I guess it'll have to wait.  Maybe I'll just get another video card.  Anyone 
know if there are any know problems with tnt2's??
