I want to play Quake3. games-fps/quake3 works, but somehow extra stuff (maps, models) I downloaded and put into /opt/quake3/baseq3 is not being used. I think I had such problems before, so I used to run games-fps/quake3-bin instead. I have no sound. There are error messages: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy Could not open /dev/dsp This is true, even as root I cannot echo something to this device. lsof and fuser return nothing, so I wonder what is using the device. I had sound problems with Quake3 in the past, and found a wrapper script quake3-sdl-sound [*], that worked. But now it doesn't. Any ideas? There will be a big match going on with my little sister this evening, so you see this is a really really important issue! Wonko
