I am trying to get quake3 to run under linux for the first time.
I am running the following
Geforce 2 MX
Debian Unstable updated as of 1 day ago
Xfree 4.02-12
2.4.2 custom from debian kernel source
I have the nvidia drirver/module compiled with this kernel and it is
loaded
lsmod

I get all kinds of different errors because i have tried alot of
different settings and configurations of X. I am run quake in dedicated
mode with no problem. So the problem has to exist with its interaction
with X. And I am sure my XF86Config needs to be setup correctly
I have copied and pasted some of the vital sections of my XF86Config
below:
Section "Module"
Load "GLcore"
Load "dbe"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "pex5"
Load "record"
Load "xie"
EndSection
Section "Device"
### Available Driver options are:-
#Option "SWcursor"
#Option "HWcursor"
#Option "NoAccel"
#Option "ShowCache"
#Option "ShadowFB"
Option "IgnoreEDID" "1" ## Side note, this makes X ignore
what the monitor reports as valid display modes. my monitor can easily
handle 2048x1536, but reports its max res as 1600x1200
#Option "UseFBDev"
#Option "Rotate"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVidia"
BoardName "GeForce2 MX"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
VideoRam 32768
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
This machine is a dual boot with Windows 2000 and Quake 3 runs fine from
there.
