Weird automap in software mode

#1

Both in Zandronum and Skulltag, in software mode my automap is kind of weird, you can't tell which side the player arrow is pointing at, all vectors are like ran through some weird filter:

Note that this pic is not resized, this is a map zoomed in. In OpenGL automap looks fine. Resetting to default values doesn't help. I guess something is wrong with my PC, but what?
Shared keys will now be in Zandro! Thanks devs for their work, and users for the support!

Looks like a weiner.

But in all seriousness software's automap has anti-aliasing but I've never really seen it act like that, the lines stay the same width as you zoom in allowing you to see more detail, I've never seen the actual thickness of the lines blow up like that.

Frankly without antialiasing the automap almost hurts my eyes, especially in overlay mode. One of the reasons I don't use GL.

My best guess would be a driver/gfx card incompatibility issue.

Yeah Medicris, It's probably his Driver/gfx card cause that shouldn't happen
[spoiler]i once killed a lion with a spinning back fist. It was years ago, on safari in Africa. My guide Mombomotombo was taking a leak behind a tree when out from the bushes a lion charged at me. At first i just looked at him the way bruce lee looked at Ohara in enter the dragon. But, the lion kept coming. When he was in mid air, with claws and teeth ready to do me like a zebra, i took 2 steps back and unleashed a chuck norris spinning back fist, crushing the lions skull.
than i ate his heart
