 I have install 4.7-STABLE and KDE 3.0.3. And install from ports

 /usr/ports/games/q3server Quake III. I run quake3.x86 and X server

 lost. That I need to make to run and play Quake III.

 

 Since you're running 4.7-STABLE, then your version of linux emu is

 compatible with Quake3Arena. Are you sure you have linux set

 to start in

 /etc/rc.conf?

 The Quake3Arena server is not client. You may want to look at

 the 'loki'

 web site for more info on client. Do you have the GL module

 loaded in X? I run Quake3Arena and Half-Life servers in

 4.7-STABLE, they indeed work,

 please send any error logs dealing with this daemon failure.

Ruslik,
The X error you sent seemed to be a permissions error to '/dev/mem', an 
error I'm not used to seeing. I don't think /dev/mem should be world 
readable. It seems that X must be suid root to read this.

I don't currently run Quake client, but the module you need for X is 
'GLX' or 'DRI'. These modules enable OpenGL, which is needed to run the 
client. Perhaps someone running client can comment. Your video card must 
support OpenGL for this to work.
A good link for documentation on this is 
http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/q3a/

You must be sure that you are running linux emulation version 'base 7', 
not 'base 6'. The older version has antique libraries, and will cause 
Quake3Arena server or add-on modules to fail.

I do not install the server from the ports collection. I use a quake3 
install CD and the latest linux point release.

Hope this is helpful,

Jeff Love
