Excellent. Thank you sir. I had all the nvidia stuff and the mesa stuff. BUT my only problem was to put /usr/lib/nvidia-glx in ld.so.conf and make sure it was before any dir with any other libGL stuff. So now quake3 runs, BUT now I am having problems getting the sound to work. I have a via686 onboard sound card. The chipset is VIA694, the one used on the ABIT VP6 and the MSI694D Dual cpu mobo's. Sound Inialization sections starts and then Signal 11! and it crashes. I found one message on a board telling people to do "echo Playback quake3.x86 0 0 disable >/proc/asound/0/pcmD0o". The guy said that was suppose to get sound working. For me it made quake get past the sound initialization section and quake ran ok, but no sound at all. I checked to see if anything was using the sound card. lsof |grep sound lsof |grep dsp ps aux |grep sound ps aux |grep arts No sound stuff running play /usr/share/licq/sounds/Monty-Python.wav That worked ok. If anyone has a FAQ or suggestion or irc room I can go to for help I would appreciate it. This will bring me one mighty step closer to never having to boot to windows again!!
