[quake3] Performance win/lin

[Slash]

The open source drivers don't have 3D acceleration support at all,
afaik. Same with the "nv" open source nvidia drivers. If you want to
do 3D and such, you need the proprietary drivers in both cases. And of
course they don't support your card, so you are out of luck. Maybe you
can find an old version of their Linux drivers or something?

Good luck :P
