After searching some more online, I found that I needed to create a
symlink from ~/.quake2/baseq2 to /usr/share/games/quake2/baseq2 and then
the game worked.
Also had to change permissions on
/usr/share/games/quake2/baseq2/config.cfg to allow my non-root user to
update the file.
All works now, except for some reason my hardware acceleration is broken
now. If it's not one thing, it's another.
