[newbie] Quake2

[Wayne Petherick]

I recently bought Quake 2 for linux only to fidn that I can't get it to work. 
 If I run it in software x11 mode, the screen is the size of postage stamp, 
if i try to use any of the other acceleration modes (I have a Gefore 256 vid 
card) it seg faults or core dumps and says that to run it in those other 
modes I need to own the video console svgalib.  Has anyone had this problem?  
Can anyone help me with it?

Cheers,

Wayne
