I can't play Quake 3 either although not for the same reason as you. I have a GeForce4 440 Go graphics card and the latest (6106) NVidia driver installed on FC2 with kernel 2.6.6-1.435.2.3. Tux Racer, Chromium, the OpenGL X Screensavers, and Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo are all absolutely fine and play/work as expected. However, in Quake 3 the 3D rendering is all messed up, and everything looks "blocky" -- screenshot here: http://www.dzr-web.com/q3shot.png Any ideas what might be wrong?
