I don't suppose "ldconfig" (as root) helps? You are runnning the programs
as root aren't you - they need direct access to the video card (OTOH plain
vga probably wouldn't work either).
You could try the 1.3.0-0.3 packages to see if they help, however there is
no mention of mach64 fixes.
Does "ldd squake.real" say anything useful?
If all this fails, please email me a "strace" of a bad program, this might
help to track down the problem.
