I'd just like to mention that the Linux Unreal Tournament binaries work
flawlessly under FreeBSD's Linux "emulation".  This is *great* news
because we now have both Q3A and UT -- this year's two hottest FPS
releases -- completely playable under FreeBSD.

Three cheers for the FreeBSD team! :-)

Relevant hardware configuration:

	Intel PII Celeron @ 464MHz
	128MB RAM
	3DFX Voodoo II (SLI)
	Creative AWE64 PnP

Relevant software installed:

	FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #6: Wed Nov 24 02:16:41 EST 1999
	linux_base-5.2
	XFree86-3.3.5
	Glide_V2-2.53-1.i386.glibc.rpm
	UTDemo-Linux-x86-348.tar.gz

Issues:

	When using the newpcm sound driver, audio seems to be lagged behind the
game by about 250-500ms.  This is similiar to the audio lag when playing
Q3A (but without the weird "flanger/phaser" sound artifacts).

	UT seems to ignore MESA/3DFX environment variables when executing.  If
you want to disable v-sync or increase your refresh rate, for instance,
you'll have to manually edit the ${UTBASE}/System/UnrealTournament.ini
file.

	There's also a ${UTBASE}/README.Linux file that explains a few general
issues with the Linux port of UT.


Happy fragging ;-)
