QIII (full) worked fine with the 3.3.6 in 7.0, there are mouse probs in
4.0 that will not be fixed until 4.0.1 is released. Do you have glide
& mesa installed (version that comes with quake is probably better
than the mandrake one)? There are drivers & instructions at
http://www.linux.3dfx.com . IIRC I have seen a Mandrake rpm
for device 3dfx, so it might be on your CD, but you'll probably
need the voodoo 3 glide rpm. Don't download the X 3.3.5 from
3dfx.com though, as, 3.3.6 from Mandrake is better.
If you are still having probs, start it from a term (without "&")
& post the output (try killing it with ctrl+alt+esc->move cursor
->enter, or opening a new term with ctrl+alt +F1 & whacking it
with top).
