1 - If i create a my directory home/games/quake , then id1 with both my retail .pak files, extract exquake 1.9 to this fodler i get gfx wad error in terminal !


2 - If i install nQuake , it runs fine but my sceam flashes and my mouse lags badly, and there isn't .pak files just folders , with some files the .pak file has


3 - FTE is the same error

Hope someone can help

Cheers

The files must have lowercased names, PAK1.PAK is wrong, it must be pak1.pak.
Your folder structure should look like this:

quake/id1/pak0.pak
quake/id1/pak1.pak
quake/ezquake-gl.glx

Cheers the lower case worked

Only thing is now the screen flickering

tried 60hz, 75hz, native rez is 1440x900 , ubuntu does not like it at all i get 3/4 game (with flickering) the rest desktop , 1024x768 is no different .

Only thing i can think of is GFX driver ? .


Game feels so much smoother in linix then windows , don't want to give up the game now

Cheers
