(I hope the neccessary info will come with it.) I normally play Quake on Linux, I copied 'squake' onto FreeBSD howevr it had troubles finding the SVGALibs. Perhaps there is some way we can use the SVGALibs in Linux on BSD? or emulate them. I downloaded Squake from: http://threewave.planetquake.com/linux/ - you will find all the Quake goodies there, I'd imagine Xquake will work but it runs really so. Squake runs in text mode is the SVGA Lib's and moves like a beast on my p133 linux workstation. If you get it to work *please* let me know, or perhaps we can work together on making it work?
