I haven't seen an single computer where quake3 has had mouse acceleration  
off (though this is not a problem, I'm pretty sure you have mouse  
acceleration). If you follow my description you will think so too.

In the quake3 menu, first thing you see, move the mouse to the var left or  
right. then mark off a little area (about 15cm) by putting an obstacle on  
each side (some books there or something). move the mouse slowly to the  
other obstacle (use about 15 seconds or more), then mark off how much the  
mouse moved on the screen (mine moved to the middle of the screen. THEN  
move it back to where you started (don't move the obstacles) then move the  
mouse quickly to the other obstacle, like under one second. Then my mouse  
was stopped on the other side of the screen. THIS means that you have  
mouse acceleration.

Also I have done "xset m 0 0" and set mouse acceleration to x1.0 in kde  
setup.
