Check the svgalib version. The new one from Hamm (and slink I think) work
properly with the Hamm and Slink versions of Quake2:

quake2     : Version: 3.19a-1
svgalibg1  : Version: 1:1.3.0-0.3
svgalib-bin: Version: 1:1.3.0-0.3

svgalib1   : Version: 1:1.3.0-0.3  <-- from "oldlibs" for squake
                                          (conflicts otherwise)

And check SETUID permissions on /usr/lib/games/quake2/quake2.real:
-rwsr-xr-x   1 root     games      342284 Sep 11 08:33 quake2.real
(ignore size diff: thats 3.19a)

HTH,
