[quake3] icculus quake 3 very dark

[Lonnie Cumberland]

Thanks everyone for all of the help and I guess that I will just try to 
stay with my nVidia card for the time being even though I really cannot 
do much with Quake 3 until the new drivers come out since I really need 
to continue to run the Xgl Xserver for the project that we are working 
on at the moment.

I'll keep looking for an inexpensive alternative that I can possibly 
purchase if something comes up in the literature to get until the 
drivers are out though.

Cheers,
Lonnie
