OK - I've been through this exercise.
Firstly, the rpm stuff can be accessed through either of the ports rpm or
rpm2cpio.
Secondly, accelerated XFree86 glx can be done by downloading XFree86 3.3.4 (I
assume from earlier messages that you're using a TNT card?) compiling it up
and installing the XF86_SVGA server. Download the glx sources from the TNT
website and follow the instructions contained within the README. You'll also
need to copy the libGL.so.1.0 to libMesaGL.so.14 and libMesaGL.so.13.6,
depending on what ports you have lying around. This should enable native
acceleration for FreeBSD GL using programs.
Thirdly, the dreaded Q* apps. Get hold of the Linux rpm appropriate to the
version of libc that your q* app uses, and copy it over the top of the libGL
stuff within the q* directory. You'll probably have to mess around with links
and stuff. I have a bunch of wrapper shell scripts that I use for glqwcl.glx,
quake2 & q3test. All they do is recreate the q* directory hierarchy and
symlink to the relevant files. Contact me if you're interested.
