I try starting up quake3 as a dedictaed server but i get the following error

Code:
/etc/init.d/q3ded start
* Starting Quake 3 dedicated server...
/sbin/runscript.sh: line 12: screen : command not found


I know its a trivial error but i just dont know where to start.

One more thing, when trying to run quake 3 i get some sort of OpenGL couldnt load error. I dont plan on playing q3 on this rig but it would be nice to know what the matter is

thanks

http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/VideoDriverFAQ
That should help you in deciding what driver to use with your video card.

i looked around my menuconfig and just couldnt find the savage drivers mentioned. :?

about the dedicated server, i run "/etc/init.d/q3ded start" and it says that the Q3 server is up but i cant seem to find it from my other machine and i know networking is fine coz it accesses the internet via this machine. i know there is some config file i need to edit, but where is it?

/etc/conf.d/q3ded (there's a few other ones depending on what mods you have installed)

And the drivers in that link are installed with xorg just edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf using the proper drivers.

 to the command line when starting the game.

About your dedicated server...I used to have some of your problems but I can't remember how I fixed it. Regardless, I'll post my configs and stuff for you below. Also, I never used /etc/init.d/q3ded for any servers. I install everything to the normal location and put my startup scripts there, or in a home directory linking to the location.

Server exec:
Code:
screen -A -m -d -S screenNameHere ./q3ded +set fs_game arena +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 27960 +set com_hunkmegs 32 +exec server.cfg

Obviously change the fs_game name to whatever mod you're playing, or baseq3 for normal old quake3. Have you ever tried it this way?

And about your client...it's telling you to put +set r_allowSoftwareGL 1 to your command line when you start a game...have you tried that yet?
