Howdy. I'm running Quake II on my mostly slink, tiny bit of potato box. I've got a Diamond Monster 3d card, and I'm using the 3dfxGL. It works pretty well, but I have a couple of annoying problems.
I've made the quake2.real binary suid root, and I _don't_ have the "real" mesa library installed. In /etc/ld.so.conf, I have: /usr/X11R6/lib/neXtaw /usr/local/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/libc5-compat /lib/libc5-compat /usr/lib/jdk1.1/lib/i586/green_threads /usr/lib/games/quake2 This makes it possible for me to run Quake as a normal user and not have to be root. However, if I make any changes to video modes or do _anything_ that makes it restart (like try to play multiplayer, doh!) then I get an error about the I/O permissions of SVGAlib (or something to that effect.) If I try it as root, it _completely_ locks up my console - I have to log in from another box and reboot. So, can anyone tell me how to accomplish what I want - 1) to run Quake II as a normal user and be able to change modes to my hearts content, and to play multiplayer. And 2) reset the console from a remote terminal without rebooting. Thanks, Dale Martin -- +------------------------- pgp key available --------------------------+ | Dale E.
