Do you see that Voodoo crap? - means your mesa shared libs weren't substituted with NVIDIA glx so's, did you install RTCW before and you had a Voodoo card, or you've never had voodoo card, and you installed NVIDIA drivers, if so did you install NVIDIA_GLX? Read the docs at nvidia site.

But originally did you have a Voodoo card, b/c RTCW replecates Voodoo mesa drivers, try to reinstall RTCW, see what happens.

Download and run nv_check and delete any conflicting libs it finds.

You buy the win cd and then download the RTCW linux binary.
