There is obviously a configuration problem.

Check:

- powerpc.library at least V15.0 (WarpOS V4)
- warp3dPPC.library at least V3.0
- Sublibs of Warp3D in

libs:Warp3D/GFXDrivers
libs:Warp3D/HWDrivers

You should only install the HWDrivers were the hardware is present on your
system (W3D_Permedia2.library and W3D_Permedia2_PPC.library in your case)

- cgxsystem.library at least V41.21beta1 (which is more recent than V41.21)
or CGX 4
- In case of CGX 3: CVisionPPC Driver (yes, in this case use the CVisionPPC
Driver, not the BVisionPPC Driver even if using a BVisionPPC !!!) of at
least V2.7 beta 3. Or CGX 4 (where you use the BVisionPPC Driver again)
- BITMAPCACHE=YES and DRAGGING=NO Tooltypes for Monitor Driver set (should be
Default, normally)
- BPPCFix method of getting rid of ppc.library, not termination (I heard
termination method makes troubles on A1200 Boards for some Warp3D Programs...
but BPPCFix works fine)
- Ensure you use enough stack (H2 needs 600000 - final product hass a GUI which
cares for this - QuakeGL has 1000000)
- Do not promote the screen which is opened or say "promotion = no" in case
you use NewMode or something like it

BTW: Do Warp3D programs without MiniGL (for example ADescentWOSW3D) run ? If
yes, than it is most likely just a too old version of Warp3D (MiniGL requires
Warp3D V3.0)
