Hey guys..

I'm trying to run QuakeI on my Octane2. It's got V6PRO Graphics and 1.2GBRAM. When I run the quake executable, it defaults to the none GL versions. Is that how it's supposed to be? When I run the GL version, it gets laggy and then crashes my system. Any tips out there for Quake to run right? I'm using the port from SGI.

It has a known bug that crashes the X server on Vpro gfx.
No fix for it afaik.

Really? All versions or just some? I can play Quake in OGL on my V12 Fuel just fine, but it turns to software rendering when using some effects.

quake doesn't run properly on vpro systems. quake2 runs on all systems, and quake3 runs best on vpro systems.
