Use the one :from ports/emulator/linux_mesa. Shut down X before you start Quake2. Running it from the console produces the following error: Linux-emul(1995): ioperm() not supported Which isn't a big surprise, since every post I read on quake2 under freebsd says libvga mode doesn't work. I've tried libMesaGL.so.2.6, lib3dfxgl.so, and libMesaVoodooGL.so.3.1 It tries to run it on vt7, which refuses to be anything but an 80x24 text mode console (there is no getty running on, quake2 can access it, just not change it's mode). quake3arena just runs. I don't get it. I really don't understand why the quake3 test can just switch modes under X, when it's barely alpha, and quake2 will not run in gl mode no matter what I do, and it's supposedly at it's finished patch level. My startup script for quake2 looks like this: cd /usr/compat/linux/usr/local/games/quake2 ./quake2 +set vid_ref glx +set gl_driver libMesaGL.so.2.6 Here's what I get when I try to run it: Added packfile ./baseq2/pak0.pak (3307 files) Added packfile ./baseq2/pak1.pak (279 files) Added packfile ./baseq2/pak2.pak (2 files) execing default.cfg execing config.cfg Console initialized. ------- sound initialization ------- sound sampling rate: 11025 ------------------------------------ ------- Loading ref_glx.so ------- ref_gl version: GL 0.01 R_SetMode() - CDS not allowed with this driver Initializing OpenGL display ...setting mode 3: 640 480 ./quake2: error in loading shared libraries /usr/lib/libMesaGL.so.2.6: undefined symbol: XInternAtom :> I have a Canopus Pure3d2 12M VooDoo2 :> card, and am Running 3.2-RELEASE.

Got that, and the latest linux_glide, and the latest linux_mesa installed. :See my usenet postings for more info. Your usenet postings are all to the effect of 'It works'. Not much help there.
