[quake2] Icculus Q2 (Gentoo build), mods won't work

[Lee Webb]

Hi All,

Many thanks for all the replies.

Built the source without using portage (no gentoo build) and the mods
worked correctly, so the there must be something wrong with the way
portage does the build, I'll look more into this today instead of
working.

The only problem I now get is some SIGSEGV when running in anything over
640x480 full screen with nvidia's liGL.so. Only happens when trying to
get the console or view the menus. When running 640x480 windowed
everything is fine.

Tracked it down to some calls to ld-linux.so.2, seems like either q2 or
the nvidia driver is doing something stupid

Will attach the stack trace when I get home
