Do they have to be native Linux? If not, I reccomend Soldat
Also, Aleph-One is an official port of the Marathon series to modern OSes, and supports Linux natively. Pretty dated graphics though, and the mouse control is horrific.

When you tried et you might wanna:

emerge enemy-territory-truecombat
emerge xqf

Its a tactical shooter. But it has a bug - you will have to use xqf to find servers. But a great mod with good graphics and gameplay.

Well, enemy-territory-truecombat is the same game, but ported to the superior (to Quake 3, anyway) ET engine.

russianpirate,

I'd be interested to know how quake3 runs with that vid card. Its still in its box somewhere and I wouldnt mind throwing some bits together for an extra games machine. Mainly for messin around.

Geforce 2?
it runs great.. on 1024x768, highest textures, 32 bit, trilleniar, goes about 30-40fps.. in win it went about 70-80fps tho.. memory lack

ET actually runs on the quake3 engine... (rtcw engine is a quake3 engine with some added effects) so the engine isnt what differs. ET-truecombat is somewhat different in other aspects, but yes, it has better graphics, but NOT because of the engine.
