Well it's a GF4 actually so it "should" work. Thing is I've had some
problems with quake3 too, turned out to be a linking problem
somewhere(?), something about pthreads, have no idea what it is
actually. exporting some variable got it working (it was described in
the README) but that didn't do the trick. Probably should update my
kernel and install the new nv drivers...
