Well, might need some more info. Quake3 should run okay and the \ / thing shouldn't be an issue. I have cedega installed so I tend to use that for quake3. Quake3 also has a linux native, but has alsa issues - which is why I run it in wine/cedega...

My advice for newbies is to pay the $15 and get cedega/point2play and it makes running games in linux easy...

you should install it as native... http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/...p?articleid=30

Unfortunately the native install has various problems with the alsa sound driver, so it is sometimes easier to install and run under wine/cedega with some sound cards. It was fine when I had the old SB128, but lot's o' trouble with most onboard or non creative sound systems...

So I deleted my native install and run it with cedega now... It's also the only good way to run quake2, otherwise you have endless mouse cursor and sound issues...

i see that cedega is payable and here in Belgium we don't have a Visa or Mastercard :S.

so how can i buy/get it ?

My advice is to make Linux games, and leave M$ with nothing.
