Maybe I don't understand well (my english is awful sorry :),
but I've been able to use them with a precompiled version of
Quake2-v.3.20 for Linux
(under my FreeBSD box)... What are the differences between Quake2-v.3.20
and your port ?
I think something is wrong, if with version 3.20 they work and with the
version I've got know
they don't.

Thanks very much for your help, I'm just trying to uderstand what's the
matter...
