Neat. Seems that there are a lot of people on the mandrake lists from teh
western washington area. I got my copy of quake3 at the EB in pacific place
mall in downtown seattle. EB is the only software store around here that I've
found that carries a lot of linux software & distro's on shelf. Le
To be honest with you - I haven't had ANY luck running Q3. Dacia on this
list has had better luck using the voodoo cards, but I'm using a Matrox G400
max (which was supposed to work with this game - out of the box) which has
not worked at all. I've tried xf3.3.x, xf4; I've tried using SuSE 7.0

Which version are you looking for? I got my copy of Quake 2 at the
half-price bookstore for $14 but I got my copy of Q3 at the local computer
store for something like $40. You can also purchase from lokisoft. What

It is kind of wierd the way that it hangs up after the music or after the
first turn ends in my case. I can then ctrl-alt-backspace and start the
game again without sound (apparently the sound device is busy) and it won't
hang up at all. Well, at least for 20 minutes or so. At any rate, I trie
I have that. Or at least I used to.

Same here, I sure as heck hope that the

I think the programmers when they told me it

excuses to sit around picking their noses and
not do anything about it, or goodness knows
maybe they were hopefully getting some

people need to just be honest that yes, Linux has made a lot of improvements

system , I have soundblaster awe 64 card and Mandrake 7.0-2
so it should work, but the stupid thing will freeze sometime
after the music quits and they tried to tell me its my
sound drivers, shyeah, as if.
I don't have any other problems wi
press just needs to figure that out.
Oh well - enjoy your day !

I completely agree with you; I've been frustrated for the last four months
that I haven't been able to play quake 3 even though the box said my card
was supported! I spent $40 on a game that I can't use and I've tried the
