[quake3] icculus quake 3 very dark

[Lonnie Cumberland]

I guess that I need to get another video graphics accelerator card that 
will work with my Fedora 5 Xgl & Compiz.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for the kind of card that I should get?

I've heard that ATI cards are good but have never used them and 
especially not with Linux Fedora.

Thanks all,
Lonnie
