At your suggestion, I pulled one and after fiddling with it, turns out it's in 'ar' format. ar x to extract, then tar -xovzf data* to get the files. q3test does function with HW GLX and Matrox G200, though (as others have indicated), not near as fast as on a 3dfx Pure3D. CPU pegs at 100% and the sound slows way down. Just something I've been wanting to try. It does work though. Hopefully DRI will make up the difference.
