Thanks Steve, that was most helpful - after some tries I just
got to q3demotest to run on my K6-300/RIVA TNT machine as well!!!

Very impressive. The first game comparable in feeling and technical
quality to the Windows ones I ever saw under X11 and FreeBSD.

Sound works perfect as well (original Ensoniq Audio PCI).

Hello desktop, here we come! :)

Now to some details:

That indeed were that important step.

It did not work for me, until I put the libGLU.so and libglut.so
into /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib.

The q3dt README gives a command line option to use a differen
libGL.so, but I nonetheless took your advice and just copied
a version into the q3dt directory.

I missed these numbers - where do they show up, or what must I
set up to get them?

Have tried only a couple of options.


Last question, is this beast suited for a q3 battle over the
Internet with some FreeBSDer here? :-)
