geforce3HackWBufferBug=1

zSkyRenderFirst=1
; ... enables (0) or disables (1) an additional way to workaround the flickering poly in the distant on geforce 3 or geforce 4 cards.
; if you set this to "0" the sky will be renderer after the normal game world thus overlaying the flickering polys. this does only work with 32 bit
; color enabled and if you set the value "geforce3HackWBufferBug" to "0". the drawback is that the sky is slightly distorted, but this should be the best

Much better seems to be the setting:

zForceZBuffer=1;

The flashing polys in the distant are a result of driver-misinterpreted
depth information while using a w-buffer.
If you use a z Buffer, those probs are gone, but you are loosing some
precision near the camera (which probably never anyone will notice).

So for all you with the flashing-poly-problems, simply set "zForceZBuffer"
to "1".

Thanks,
Carsten
