got to say then, (no various tests, just a single case here) with the
retail's pak0.pk3, on 16 bit color depth, debian unstable current, xorg,
nvidia latest, nv 5700le), icculus' q3 would stop at SDL initialization 
unless run at 24 bit color depth. (color depth affects performance a lot 
on 1600x1200). 

ps. btw, I got those sound skips some ppl noticed too but they were more 
apparent when cpu load was at its highest (e.g. looking at the mirror
of q3dm0)
