I am attempting to install quake1 & quake3 on my debian sarge system:
2.4.27-1-386
nVidia eGeForce MX4000 64MB AGP 8X
Cirrus Logic Crystal CS4281 PCI Audio
XFree86 4.3.0.1
I have working sound, I have seen my basic quakeforge install function(not
used online as of yet). I began my quake3 install following the howto from
http://www.mepislovers.com/guide/quake/Quake-3-Arena-Install-Part-1.html
http://www.mepislovers.com/guide/quake/Quake-3-Arena-Install-Part-2.html
On Part 2, I get to the point of running the shell script "sh quake3" from
console or by clicking the icon from a file manager I get same results either
way(konsole output):
bill@beast:~/quake3$ sh quake3

You are using software Mesa (no hardware acceleration)!
Driver DLL used: libGL.so.1
If this is intentional, add
"+set r_allowSoftwareGL 1"
to the command line when starting the game.

Sys_Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem
What happens here is the screen acts like it is opening up and changing video
modes blanks and drops back to where I was. If I run the shell script with
this line after it, "sh quake3 +set r_allowSoftwareGL 1" I end up seeing a a
"blown" up corner of my desktop with nothing I can do except kill the xserver
with CTRL + ALT + BKSPC
Are there any suggestions at where I should start looking on this? I really
need my Q3 Fortress sniper fix....
TIA,
