Here is the problem. I have just recently decided to try out linux. I had redhat pro 9 so i decided to just try this out. Anyway I love the system over all but i can not play any games that i have installed. I will start with the error i get from quake III.
on load this is what i get
7126 files in pk3 files
execing default.cfg
execing q3config.cfg
execing autoexec.cfg
Hunk_Clear: reset the hunk ok

...loading libGL.so.1: Initializing OpenGL display
...setting mode 3: 640 480
Error couldn't open the X display
...WARNING: could not set the given mode (3)
Received signal 11, exiting...
For one thing i dont even know how to switch mode 3 to any other mode. But that should not even matter. I cannot even get the game to run
I have installed the new nvidia patch for the game and my Xf86conf file looks like this

# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"

# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and

i just recently took off the 640x480 modes to see if that would help Unfortunitly it didnt
Im really new at linux and really dont know much about it yet. This is the problem with qukae III
The problem i have with ut is this
Signal: SIGSEGV [segmentation fault]
Aborting.
Crash information will be saved to your logfile.
the game tries to load and then it
just crashes. Allso i cant even find the logfile it save that logg to. Im dying to try out some of these game on linux but nothtint is working. I also found another cmd glxinfo wile searching through hundreds of threads so i tried it.
this is what mine showed.

if someone could help me at least get quake 3 running i would be much apreciative
I have also tried this line it dont work either
[knight@localhost knight]$ quake3 +set r_allowSoftwareGL 1
Im like stumped. I have been working on this for about 4 days now and the onlything i could actualy get to work was the nvidia drivers lol..
