Summary: scummvm doesn't start without glide supporting system

Initial Comment:
Windows version I downloaded on 17-june-2003.
No matter what parameters I add to scummvm.exe I get
the error: "gd error (glide): _GlideInitEnvironment:
glide2x.dll expected Voodoo Graphics, none detected".
Sorry, the "-v" parameter isn't working either. I
suspect this is since there is no more separate
scummvmgl.exe in the package.
The problem might be occour because I have removed the
Voodoo 1 Board from my PC, so I tried removing that
file glide2x.dll, too. But then, I get the error
message: "Die erforderliche .DLL-Datei GLIDE2X.DLL
wurde nicht gefunden." which translates to English:
"The required .DLL file GLIDE2X.DLL was not found."

Please don't force people installing the entire OS from
scatch. You should just check for glide supporting
hardware, and if there is no such hardware, just don't
use it. (Software renderer would probably much less
usefull than the excellent ScummVM's build in filters
anyway.)
An option in scummvm.ini and a command line parameter
for explicitely don't use glide should be existing as well.
