The Monster3D works quite well with linux, using the Mesa GL
package and the linux version of the glide rasterization libraries. Don't
expect it to run glquake nearly as fast as windows, though :) Mesa is a
full implementation of GL, whereas windows glquake uses a miniport, so
(among other things) linux glquake is slower, but still nice...
