enthusiasm and questions

[Christopher Henderson]

I'm extremely happy to have found http://icculus.org/quake2/ - a simple
installer for quake 2 for linux!  Kewlness!  I'm so very happy to see
such a thing that I'm willing to donate some money for the project.  Not
a lot, but at least what I'd spend on a boxed version.  This work needs
to be rewarded. :-)  Now - some questions - does this version support
OpenGL?  I know that the older one did - but I could never get it to
work.  I'm running Red Hat 8.0 with a Radion 8500 and ATI's official
drivers.  Unreal Tournament and other OpenGL games run dandy - but never
Quake 2.  Also, upon trying to run Quake 2 with your installer I get
this output - cut n paste from a terminal

display ":0.0".
Failed to detect XF86DGA Mouse

It appears that the only problem is related to my mouse - any ideas how
to fix this?

Thnx for your help and for your time.
