Thanks for the reply - I should have sent back my fix. Mea culpa... Turns out that Q3A does work with RH8 out of the box - along with Wolfenstein and any other games I have. I seems to be a kernel problem as I use a custom kernel to do a net boot with on my diskless workstation and that breaks q3a. A standard kernel on the same hardware runs q3a fine. So I need to spend more time looking at my kernel configs - something to do with agpgart or drm, methinks. Or it might be the XF86Config like you suggested (I now remember this from when you had to setup OpenGL yourself in the old days).

Hello,
I haven't tried this yet, but this point release made some changes related
to the GL libraries.
http://www.idsoftware.com/downloads/132_changes.html
near the end...
Linux specific:
- no longer trying to load libMesaVoodooGL.so
obsolete code, was confusing when trying to setup correct OpenGL acceleration
- SMP support in the renderer. Detects CPU count, r_smp 1 default if available. (thanks to Gareth Hughes for contributing this)
- changed default GL driver from libGL.so to libGL.so.1
see LSB 1.2 spec: http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/refspecs/LSB_1.2.0/gLSB/libgl.html
- Handle Ctrl and Space key together correctly (Ctrl was disabling Space)
- sub-frame timing of input events (key/mouse) (input timing quality now equivalent to win32)
Also, make sure your /etc/X11/XF86Config loads the correct modules. I'm not exactly sure
which ones you need, but it might one of (or all) GLcore, glx or dri.
HTH
Best Regards
Willem Brown
