From Kenn Hoekstra's .plan file:

 

1. If you get the "Could Not Open GL Subsystem" error, it's

because either your video card isn't 100% open GL compatible

or because you need new drivers. If you have any card released

in the last two years (GeForce anything, Radeon etc.) and you

get the error, it's driver related. For a great list of drivers,

check out: http://www.voodooextreme.com/hw/Binaries/drivers.html.

Try grabbing newer drivers from http://www.matrox.com, and they used to have an accelerated opengl driver for certian games, if you have that, try changing the name of the executable for JK2 to Quake3Arena.exe and see if it works. I never understood why the name of a game initlized those drivers, seems the engine should have, but......

Also try Wickgl. The link can be found in the Voodoo 5 sticky thread. This helped me.
