Q2 refuses to run accelerated

[Siskmarek]

Got Quake 2 installed on my windows partition, but I decided I would like to play it under linux when the urge catches me and I don't feel like rebooting.

Installation of the linux binaries was flawless. I took measures to ensure Quake 2 ran properly with my GeForce2 MX 400, as per the README file.

But upon executing the game I get this:

------- Loading ref_gl.so -------
ref_gl version: GL 0.01
R_SetMode() - CDS not allowed with this driver
Initializing OpenGL display
...setting mode 4: 800 600
Received signal 11, exiting...

Does anyone have any idea what this means, and what can I do to fix it? It runs software mode, but not glx.

I knew the Q2hack supposedly fixed a mouse problem that I surmised that I would probably have, so I had it downloaded already. If you say it fixes more problems than just that I'll definitely have to try it out when I get home. ^_^
