Ok - well, vquake appears to be working fine on my system, ie, it didn't crash. I'm running FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE on ELF and a.out. Vquake is quite a big step for FreeBSD users that wanna play Quake, however it doesn't appear to have generic mouse support - perhaps there someway we can port Squake over ot FreeBSD? or at least, learn from squake to create a stable working exe for FBSD.
