There are 2 outcomes:
- works fine under linux emulation. Frag on!
- works, but eats up your processor. Sitting completely idle, the
q3 server will show a 1.0 workload. Other servers running on the box
will be lagged. Happens on Linux servers too, so it isn't a FreeBSD
issue.
The latter is much more common unfortunately, and is what happened to
me. We don't run a server because of it. :-(
On a slightly different note, i tried to install the game on my box
(3.2-stable). Got it running, in a window under enlightenment, but I
don't even get 1 FPS. The cursor won't even track without a 5 second
delay. I've got a P2 266 with a Voodoo3. I followed the directions by
Mark Taylor to a T. :-( Anyone else?
