I have problems with q3demo too... I get flickering textures and stuff, tho'
the sound works fine. The q3test versions before the q3demo worked just fine.
If you use OpenSoundSystem the sound MAY become fucked up, at least from my own
experience.
I installed the kernel modules for my card instead of using OSS, then q3 ran
just fine.
But I have (had) a voodoo2... so maybe the problem is global, ie. they really
fucked up the release?
I can't test anymore since my voodoo2 card seems to have hit the ground for
good. :( Don't know why, but one day it suddenly stopped working.
