Hello and thanks for your help!
Ok I'm almost there. I didn't have the 3dfx module installed. When I
insmoded it I was able to get UT running using the Glide drivers as
opposed to the SDL ones (which produced weird black boxes everywhere).
However there are problems, there is a second cursor on the screen and
when I exit the screen goes all weird and unusable and I have to kill X
in order to get it back. Otherwise UT runs beautifully.
The other problem is when I try to run the mesademos, I get no errors
but I also don't get fullscreen (even after typing "export
MESA_GLX_FX=fullscreen" that's correct isn't it?).
Like I said I'm now almost there,
Thanks again and now if we can just get these last two bits solved...
