Quake 3 Arena, Linux - G400 - Help!

[jeneag]

Hello,
Im running redhat 6.2 here, and I've downloaded a Quake 3 Arena demo, and trying to play it, but no luck. It's starts loading that ID logo, it's like 1 frame per 5 seconds, or worse. And sound same...one noise every 5-7 seconds. This is terrible. Anyway.
I know Im missing something here... please tell me what I need to do??
Also I can't make 2 monitors work. And 3d applications like Blender running slow like hell. It seems that X reconize only 2mb or video ram or somethin'. I've downloaded mesa libs, and installed. then glx lib, but I cant compile this one, 'coz it missed something in source files (???). Please, if you can just show me some docs to read, or urls where I can read/learn how to make all this fun work!
Thank you a lot!
Jenea.

ok... first of all... i think the demo was mainly for 3dfx, and not optimised too well for gl... although i could be wrong...

answer me this:

did u load the glx module for x windows?
did u load the matroxfb module (u shouldnt)?
did u correctly choose 8mb/16mb when u ran XF86Setup?

i got it working... although it wasnt too fast.... around 15fps... which sounds about right for my CPU

I have seen this problem before, and I can help. In your particular situation you need to download and install the Utah-GLX module (assuming you still have XF3.3.6).
