Thanks Steve, that was most helpful - after some tries I just got to q3demotest to run on my K6-300/RIVA TNT machine as well!!! Very impressive. The first game comparable in feeling and technical quality to the Windows ones I ever saw under X11 and FreeBSD. Sound works perfect as well (original Ensoniq Audio PCI). Hello desktop, here we come! :) Now to some details: > The key was to update the Linux libs. Linux user Ralph Giles sent > me the libs from his system.

That indeed were that important step. It did not work for me, until I put the libGLU.so and libglut.so into /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib. The q3dt README gives a command line option to use a differen libGL.so, but I nonetheless took your advice and just copied a version into the q3dt directory. > I had older GLX working with older Linux libs extracted from some .deb > packages, but could not get the newer GLX to run Q3.

Have tried only a couple of options. Last question, is this beast suited for a q3 battle over the Internet with some FreeBSDer here? :-) Regards, Marc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
