Thanks for the replies, this is exactly the sort of info I was fishing
for.

I too already have the glx X server running on these boxes (12
identical clients with these cards in them, nfsroot booted on a fast
100Mbit subnet. Quake multiplayer in this little network is a real
blast! :-)
But how to get quake to use the glx driver? It already works in
software-rendered mode (still way cool), but the 3d options crash it
out, some leaving things in ugly states (keyboard in raw mode, etc).
What glide and mesa/opengl libs do I need?

Quake also uses svgalib (I believe only for mouse and keyboard input?
- I'm not sure). But trying this new version might just be the key to
get it working...
Thanks again. If I do get it all working, I'll post a summary here.
