This isn't an XFree86 problem, it is a problem with your Quake 3 installation. Presumeably you've had an Nvidia or some other video card installed using externally supplied video drivers, and a symlink was made to the libGL either incorrectly, or hard coded to a location other than that specified by the Linux Standard Base (/usr/lib/libGL.so). If you've previously installed any 3rd party drivers for any other video hardware, such installation may or may not have blown away the Red Hat supplied and required libGL and/or other important files. Hope this helps. -- Mike A.
