(A bit OT) Quake 3 ignores setuid root



I have potato's XFree 3.3.6 with glx and Mesa from CVS.

To be able to use full acceleration (direct rendering) a glx client has to be
started by (setuid) root, according to a README.

When I run the Quake 3 Demo as root, everything's fine. When I'm a user it
just uses indirect rendereng, even though the permissions on the executable
(and the calling script) are 4750 (-rwsr-x---) and the user's in the assigned
group.

Any suggestions?
