Interesting. 20 questions...
Uses the Voodoo card too? Nice. Does it work with a V3? That would require
XFree86 4? It is slower than Win98? Any problems with mouse focusing. I
seem to remember back in the days I ran quake2 under FreeBSD that was a
problem.

Oh dear. That's quite an important part of it :(

The previous patches were easy to apply. Extract the 4.13a .tar.gz, make
sure the UT CD is mounted at /mnt/cdrom, then run the install-sh script.
Does it all no problem. The 4.25 patch is a little trickier. Uses binaries
and X interface to do the install. Haven't been able to get that working
yet. Let me know if you succeed. I'm going to look at it again. You could
quite easily patch it up under Linux and copy the filesystem across. Any
chance of making the changes it makes available somewhere? I realise this
will be a largish tar file as it'll probably modifiy those 40MB files a
little. Downloading something that big is no problem, if you could put it
up somewhere?
Cheers.
