Ok, i just installed Quake2 on my linux machine by first copying the whole q2 dir off of a CD and putting it in file://usr/local/games/Quake2. Then i went to the idsoftware FTP site (ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com) and downloaded the tar.gz for quake2 linux. Then when i try to run it with ./quake2 from the terminal it says cannot load ref_softx.so.

Please help! i have all the Nvidia drivers installed sucessfully too!

WOOOHOOO!!

after hours or rage, i got Quake2 to start up in Software mode. But when i select video from the main menu and choose the GLX driver it says :

ERROR VID: Could not open display

WOOOHOOO again!

i got GL to work here's what i did in the konsole in the q2 dir.:

./quake2 +set vid_ref GLX

and it went into GLX mode, although i still dont know how fullscreen works.
