[ale] SuSE, Nvidia, and Quake 3

[Dow Hurst]

Your best source of info is the XF86 log files in /var/log/.  You should see 
in the file the GLX messages.  The GeForce 4 MX440 is not a superfast card 
like the GeForce 4 Ti4200 and up.  It is a lower cost card but will do OpenGL 
acceleration.  Quake 3 ought to run fine though.  Here is my config file for X 
  inline below.  Watch the line wrap of a few lines.  I have a dual monitor 
display which is why there are two Monitor sections and the TwinView 
statements.  This was created under RH9:

Section "Files"

# The location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").  There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
