(I know I'm 3 weeks late chiming in on this thread, but I just got to
playing with my Pure3D in FreeBSD w/ GLQuake, Mesa, et all last weekend.
Works nicely.)

Brian Tao:

 |kill the keyboard...

Well, once before I had everything set up quite right I had it dump out on
me, and as you say it hosed the console leaving it in some strange mode.
Once I got setup, the same thing happened anytime I forgot to run it as
root (so glide.so could detect & get at the Voodoo board as I recall).
After I cooked a setuid-root perl wrapper script to run glquake, I haven't
had any problems since.

I'm guessing this whacked-out console state might be libvga not getting an
opportunity to reset the terminal back from that pseudo-raw mode Amancio
mentioned a while back.  But that's just a guess mind you.
