On my machine, where you get the signal 11, mine initialises the GL renderer, so it may be a problem with the GL libraries, or permissions on them. Here are the permissions on mine: $ ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 May 18 16:19 /usr/lib/libGL.so -> libGL.so.1.0.1251 $ ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.1251 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 248932 May 18 16:19 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.1251 Also, do you have a symlink to the libGL in your quake3 directory? When I ran Quake on X3.3.6, I used to have to make a symlink there, but its not needed with the nvidia drivers. You could also try starting Quake and specifying the libGL library on the command line, like this: quake3 +set r_gldriver /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.1251 You can also try deleting the .q3a directory in $HOME and then letting it recreate the startup files.
