Sorry, I only got as far as the server so far :-) The X11 client built, but there is a bug in Quake's assembly code (methinks) that produces a SIGBUS in memset() ... haven't investigated thourougly(sp?) yet. I'll try and build the GL client, but I haven't got high hopes... If anyone is intersted, I can give you my patches to the QuakeWorld code (it fixes the Linux CDROM code and some other Linux specific thingies).
