Well, since GLIDE only support 3DFX cards, I'd say your choice is
pretty limited :)
Besides that, the port I've done only supports the (now ancient)
Voodoo Graphics based cards. For Voodoo2/3, look at Doug Rabson's
patches to the original source code.

Sorry, I only got as far as the server so far :-)
The X11 client built, but there is a bug in Quake's assembly code
(methinks) that produces a SIGBUS in memset() ... haven't investigated
thourougly(sp?) yet.
I'll try and build the GL client, but I haven't got high hopes...
If anyone is intersted, I can give you my patches to the QuakeWorld
code (it fixes the Linux CDROM code and some other Linux specific
thingies).
