SQUAKE SVGALIB problems
Well, I tried to use xquake but my system locked up 3 times after about two seconds of use. I then decided to try out squake however when I run squake I recieve the error: svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions. I checked the permissions on the lib files and changed them so group and user could read and execute them, but there was no change. Suggestions? Panz
Re: SQUAKE SVGALIB problems
As root: chmod u+s /usr/games/squake It needs root to use svgalib, and permissions are then dropped to play quake.

The binary, /usr/games/squake.real has to be setuid root to use svgalib. I't is not packaged as such because it is a security hole. A `chmod +s /usr/games/squake.real` will fix it.
