SST_IGNORE_INIT_VIDEO    
SST_IGNORE_SLI_CHECK   Ignore autodetect of slave Frame Buffer Chip for speed doubling.
SST_INITDEBUG   Enables displaying of glide debug information in DOS or Win95 DOS Shell.

SST_MEMINFO_ENTRIES    
SST_MEMINFO_HWM    
SST_MEMINFO_LFB 1 LFB Writes go through memory FIFO, Linear Frame Buffer memory read/write fifo buffer Size.

SST_MEMINFO_TEX 1 Texture Writes go through memory FIFO, Texture Chip memory read/write fifo buffer Size.
SST_MEMOFFSET   Frame buffer address offset from base map.
SST_NODEVICEINFO    
SST_NOSHUTDOWN   Do not deinitialize Voodoo Chipset on program termination. Good for spawns.
SST_PCIFIFO_LWM    
SST_PFT_CLK_DEL   Preliminary (initial) speed at which frame buffer memory can be accessed.
SST_PTF0_CLK_DEL   Preliminary texture chip 0 memory access speed in delayed clocks.

SST_SCREENREFRESH def 60 Set Screen Refresh rate (60, 75, 85, 120Hz)
SST_SCREENREZ   Virtual screen resolution.
SST_SLIDETECT 0 Scan line interpolation, Detect a slave voodoo chipset subsystem.
SST_SLIM_PVOUT_CLKDEL   Master Frame Buffer Chip Preliminary Pixel Clock Delay.
SST_SLIM_VIN_CLKDEL   Master Video In clock delay (for external sync/genlocking).
SST_SLIM_VOUT_CLKDEL   Master System Pixel Clock delay. Only valid if multi FBI's and TMU's are present.
SST_SLIS_PVOUT_CLKDEL    
SST_SLIS_VIN_CLKDEL   Slave System Video In clock delay (for sync to Master).
SST_SLIS_VOUT_CLKDEL   Slave System Pixel Clock delay. Only valid if multi FBI's and TMU's are present. SST_SLIS_PVOUT_CLKDEL Slave System Preliminary Pixel Clock Delay.
SST_SLOWPCIWR   Adds WaitStates to PCI bus writes to Voodoo memory and I/O. (PCI -> Voodoo).
SST_SWAP_EN_WAIT_ON_VSYNC 0 Turns off syncing to the monitors vertical refresh rate so the screen gets refreshed before its fully written on the monitor.
SST_TEXMAP_DISABLE   Diable Texture Mapping
SST_TF_FIFO_THRESH   CPU/Frame Buffer Writes/reads to the texture map memory is done through fifo since the texture map chip might be doing something with that memory at the time. This sets texture map write/read fifo threshold to tell glide that FIFO needs to be serviced and then may accept more data from either frame buffer or CPU.
SST_TF0_CLK_DEL   texture chip 0 memory access speed in delayed clocks.
SST_TF1_CLK_DEL   texture chip 1 memory access speed in delayed clocks.
SST_TF2_CLK_DEL   texture chip 2 memory access speed in delayed clocks.
SST_TILESINX    
SST_TMUCFG   Texture Chip Direct Bitmapped Config Register. Sets Texture types, overlay etc. directly.
SST_TMUMEM    
SST_TMUMEM_SIZE   Amount of texture map memory installed. Overrides Autodetect by glide.
SST_TREX0INIT0   Texture Chip 0 Direct Bitmapped Primary Init Register (glide will change the values of ; these registers depending on other environment variables).
SST_TREX0INIT1   Texture Chip 0 Direct Bitmapped Secondary Init Register.
SST_TREX1INIT0   Texture Chip 1 Direct Bitmapped Primary Init Register.
SST_TREX1INIT1   Texture Chip 1 Direct Bitmapped Secondary Init Register.
SST_TREX2INIT0   Texture Chip 2 Direct Bitmapped Primary Init Register.
SST_TREX2INIT1   Texture Chip 2 Direct Bitmapped Secondary Init Register.
SST_TRIPLE_BUFFER   If program does no Z or no Alpha buffering then use aux buffer as hidden speed buffer!
SST_VFIFO_THRESH   threshold of PCI -> Voodoo Frame Buffer access before FIFO is to be serviced.
SST_VGA_PASS 1 Enable VGA passthrough
SST_VIDCLK2X    
SST_VIDEO_24BPP 1 Enable 24-bit video mode
SST_VIDEO_CLEARCOLOR   Color to fill backbuffer during a page flip (and SST_VIDEO_NOCLEAR=0).
SST_VIDEO_DISABLE   Disable Video DAC data stream. Sync may still be active unless Sync variables disabled.
SST_VIDEO_FILTER_DISABLE   Disables 24 -> 16 bit color conversion smoothing. In words, disables dither smoothing.
SST_VIDEO_FILTER_THRESHOLD   16bit pixel value theshhold, in which smoothing will be applied to inside adjacent pixels.
SST_VIDEO_NOCLEAR   Don't clear the backbuffer during a page flip.
SST_VIN_CLKDEL   Single Voodoo system Video In clock delay.
SST_VOUT_CLKDEL   Single Voodoo system Video Out clock delay.
SST_VSYNC 0 Disable VSYNC, may increase performance
FX Variable Value Explanation
FX_CPU    
FX_GLIDE_BOUNDS_CHECK    
FX_GLIDE_LWM    
FX_GLIDE_NO_SPLASH 1 Turn off 3dfx logo animation when switching from 2d to 3d mode.
FX_GLIDE_SHAMELESS_PLUG 1/0 Enables the display of a static 3dfx logo/bitmap upon glide init.
FX_GLIDE_SNAPSHOT    
FX_GLIDE_SST2    
FX_GLIDE_SWAPINTERVAL 0/1/2 0 = off. 0 to swap backbuffer/frontbuffer asap, 1 to swap on vsync, 2 to swap every two vsyncs.
