Ok I'm almost there. I didn't have the 3dfx module installed. When I insmoded it I was able to get UT running using the Glide drivers as opposed to the SDL ones (which produced weird black boxes everywhere). However there are problems, there is a second cursor on the screen and when I exit the screen goes all weird and unusable and I have to kill X in order to get it back. Otherwise UT runs beautifully. The other problem is when I try to run the mesademos, I get no errors but I also don't get fullscreen (even after typing "export MESA_GLX_FX=fullscreen" that's correct isn't it?). Like I said I'm now almost there, Thanks again and now if we can just get these last two bits solved... David Bellows
