Hey guys, if this has already been discussed, let me know. I haven't found a relevant thread yet, however.

So graphics wise, Quake 3 seems to run great when I have Beryl running. Problem is, however, is that key mappings are all messed up. The controls do not want to work correctly (wasd do not respond, and I can not move).

Can this be fixed easily?

Besides that, oh and the infamous sound problems (that I've tried everything to fix), is what keeps me from fully enjoying Quake 3 on Linux (though it runs perfect under Metacity).

Thanks for any response guys.

Yeah but try Quake 4...

You'll be a bust...

The best bet for 3D gaming is to use either xgamer (a set of scripts to cause a new X session to launch right into the game), or simply create another user account that run s a thinner windowing system, like XFCE to run your 3D games.

I cannot get acceptable frame rates in any 3D games (any DECENT ones, anyway) while running Beryl... for instance... Quake 4, Doom 3, X2 - The Threat, etc, etc.
