If you see the graphical bootup you have framebuffer enabled

Normally two boots are set up in such cases by the installer, linux and 
linux-nonfb.  Oh yes, you need to move /dev/dsp somewhere else and downgrade 
a library, as I recall, to run q2.

To tell you the truth I don't know. It's the stock kernel that comes with Mdk 
7.2.

Do you have a kernel running with framebuffer support?

If so, try one without the framebuffer.

I didn't see what video card you have?  If you have opengl installed and 
working.  Did it run for you in the past and just stop?

BTW I checked my quake2 dir and I have no such file either and mine runs, it 
must be something loaded from inside one of the quake libraries.
