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 Burgh-Com > In /etc/rc.conf > linux_enable="YES" > > I run quake3.x86 and X server lost.
