Q3 on Mandrake 8.0

[Disciple]

I use RH and Q3 works fine, but when I try and and load it up on Mandrake 8.0 I have no luck. It doesn't seem to really give an error before it stops and shoots me back to plain console. Here is what I have done so far.

mkdir /usr/local/games/quake3
mkdir /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3
mkdir /usr/home/USERNAME/.quake

-pak files are in the .../baseq3
-q3config is in ../.quake

I then:

tar -zxvf NVIDIA_kernel.....
tar -zxvf NVIDIA_GLX....

-make install for NV_kernel
-make install for NV_GLX

I then "su" to root. I "vi XF86Config-4"
and

-edit "nv" with "nvidia"
-put a # infront of #Load "dri" and "GLcore"
-:wq to get out

Restart X and I get the nice little Nvidia Screen while loading up.

I then:
-sh linux.......pointrelease and it installs the rest of the files.

-my desk top is already set to 16 bit so I don't have to log in with 16 bit color.

Now in RH all I have to do is type quake3 and hit enter

When I do it in Mandrake it starts and then gets so far and stops: No error, it just stops. Have I missed something being that it is Mandrake? Does anyone know where I might be able to read more on the install specific to Mandrake?? Any help would be greatful

Did you ADD "Load glx" into XF86Config? If no, you should.

maybe it's a permissions error somewhere? I would think that installing it on RH or MDK would be the same. Did you try running quake3 as root to see if it worked?

[Disciple]

yea did all that...still no luck....would the sound card not working properly effect the initialization by chance?
