The "missing extension" is just a warning, it's not a huge deal. It's only implemented on XiG's for-money X server.

The other message, though, is the problem.

I'm assuming glxinfo, in the GL extensions list, doesn't show GL_EXT_bgra, right?

Have you done anything driver-wise to your installation? Did Gentoo set up your card? Because if not, I think you have to install DRI somehow before you get hardware 3D support.

Well, Q3, CS, and glxgears may not require the GL_EXT_bgra extension.

The extension list is a function of your OpenGL library -- are there updates for that available?

UT2003 will not work with a radeon 7500 under linux... I think the 8500 is the minimum... Can anyone verify? When UT2003 first came out, only nvidia cards with the nvidia binary driver were supported under linux.

With the last few UT2k3 updates, S3TC support is no longer required. This (S3TC) is the reason only nVidia cards were supported before -- none of the other drivers supported S3TC until ATI came out with their binary one (which does only work on Radeon 8500 and later).

However, with recent patches you should be able to disable S3TC (and have the game run even slower, but you win some, you lose some, I guess), and if you can do that, there should be no reason that I can think of that a 7500 wouldn't work.

Unless the GL driver doesn't implement bgra color channels.
