    Hey... listen, I don't want to hear about "Q3Test doesn't support this" and "Q3Test doesn't support that". That's Windoze thinking. If Q3Test doesn't support your card, it probably means your card's manufacturer hasn't written drivers, or released the specs from which drivers could be written.

    This means you should find 800 numbers and email addresses for that company and BUG THE HELL out of them. Whining on Slashdot about a lack of support will get you nowhere. Turn that energy to more productive efforts and start letter-writing campaigns to get get Linux drivers AND SPECS from nVidia, ATI, and others. Call their 800 numbers daily. Let them know that Linux users will not sit quietly and wait for the powers-that-be to acknowledge us.

    WE WANT QUAKE, AND WE WANT IT NOW!
