Thanks.  I'd checked there, but the RPM link was dead and I didn't know if
I could do anything with .deb's.  At your suggestion, I pulled one and
after fiddling with it, turns out it's in 'ar' format.  ar x to extract,
then tar -xovzf data* to get the files.

q3test does function with HW GLX and Matrox G200, though (as others have
indicated), not near as fast as on a 3dfx Pure3D.  CPU pegs at 100% and the
sound slows way down.  Just something I've been wanting to try.

It does work though.  Hopefully DRI will make up the difference.

Thanks,

Randall
