i always play quake using def's setup + ezquake from cvs.

can't link def's setup cuz of warez. but yeah. good times.

the answer might be in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask

and it doesn't say :/

use a program like vidgen or gtf to generate the modeline

perhaps?

ahh yes that helped, since i don't have anything in my lib64 at all i rmdir'd it and made /usr/lib link to /usr/lib64 and bob's my uncle

openjade emerge keeps failing with

the configs are in ~/.e/e/
use e17genmenu to add menu items, the format is binary now :/

You need GLX, so you need a card that has drivers for it. Read whichever of these applies to you:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml

either +set cl_punkbuster 1 on the command line like
or type in the console ~
will work

then put +seta cl_punkbuster 1 on the cmd line

or at the console type

pb_cl_enable

So download it. pbweb.x86

Put it in ~/.q3a/pb, make it executable, execute it.

etf is pretty much dead. The devs don't care about the community and it shows.
It had potential though.

I usually play on:
64.156.64.3:27520 -=Zap=- East 2fort5 / vote MegaTF
209.242.32.34:27500 Biscuit MegaTF East I Frag Stats!

usually as engineer.

for good (overkill) measure

you can fix quake1 by putting the paks in
/usr/share/games/quake-data/id1

quake2 by putting the paks in
/usr/share/games/quake2-data/baseq2

if that fails the game will make a directory in the user's home ~/.quake[2]. as a last resort the paks could be put there in id1/[baseq2]

If the extension is .dm3 then it is incompatible with the current version of q3. Also some mods like OSP or Threewave don't see the demos unless they're in all-caps minus the extension. I've found a few other quirks in how demos work under the Linux port.

which ones do you have the cd for? with some googling quake1 can be found online. quake3 requires a cd-key and cd for the paks.

quake3 has the best graphics and qw is really fun. but the mods for all the versions add variety.

My xorg.conf is probably a bad example but I wrote it to reduce the clutter. It assumes:
Samsung 955DF monitor, Logitech MX300 usb mouse, Nvidia GF4 Ti4200 video card, and using the XFS (X Font Server)

If you're into eye-candy, FuhQuake for sure. Otherwise quakeforge is a nice, simple *nix-focused nq and qw client.

I'll install it and see what's up.

Ok, fuhquake can only see files under it's own directory structure, that is /opt/fuhquake. you'd have to link the textures/ into /opt/fuhquake/id1/textures/. Also the files need to be downloaded into /opt/fuhquake/fortress but you probably don't have write ...

I've compiled quakeforge 0.5.5 on gcc 3.4.3 with no problems. I think it's not fair to say qforge isn't a good qwcl, all I need is crappy graphics and i'm good to go, everything looking like mud is the way to go. I don't need q3's hud gfx or nice textures I'll never appreciate, or huge hollywood ...

Do you mean games-fps/quake1-textures ? Judging from the distfile location I'd say those are for the Team Fortress mod.

I second the Pan recommendation. Pan is a great newsreader.

seta snddevice "/dev/adsp"

try that at the console or in a config file.

I definitely had this problem and what fixed it was adding this line to ~/.q3a/baseq3/autoexec.cfg

seta snddevice "/dev/adsp"


This trick:

echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "quake3.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss


Maybe the permissions of /dev ...
