Weird, I'd have thought this was one of the most on topic posts in ages
try www.linuxgames.org theres a link to an excellant quake howto. If you're useing a 3dfx card glquake is easy, read howto, and download the library file the link points to. I never bothered with my tnt, but its prob ok to use a standard linux opengl library, i forget the name, but think theres a link to it too. Would guess unless its a 3dfx card the fps will be ****, graphics card manufacturers are taking their own sweet time to release drivers for linux. Mostly the drivers are being written by ppl with nothing to do with the companies,
