Well, I grabbed quake-x11 from potato, and that works fine. I have an old
quake CD, and I replaced the relevant files from there, so it's a working
Linux quake 1 version.
I'll definitely take a look at quakeforge.
I have found in the past that while installing Mesa is simple, it wasn't
compiled with 3-d accel support. I tried once getting the entire glide + mesa
stuff working with my Voodoo 3 and it was hell. I never got it to work. I
don't know if potato's version of Mesa is hardware accelerated or if I have to
compile from source if I want that. Now, you said that under X 4.0 the tdfx
module provides hardware acceleration. Does that mean that I don't have to
recompile Mesa?
