Re: Quake2/3dfx

1998-10-10 Thread Dave Swegen 
I don't know if it would be of any help in this case, but there is a
quake for linux FAQ floating about on the net (sorry, don't know the URL
- search for quake, linux and FAQ at dejanews).

As for playing as normal user: have you tried setting the suid bit (as
root: chmod u+s filename)?

Now, if I could only get my SB working under 2.1.124...

Cheers
Dave

 Hello,
 
 I have quake2 and 3dfx, and canot play it with mouse under svgalib mode 
 either
 
 But i have a question for you i can play quake with 3dfx support as root. 
 And all
 the Opengl (mesa) things too. But i want to use 3dfx as a normal user
 What should i do?  Maybe create somthing like /dev/3dfx ??\
 

Copy Mesa libs from Quake2 directory to /usr/local/lib and run ldconfig
(as root). It wont work if you have mesag2 installed.
