Help with OpenGL in Fedora Core 4.

I'm pretty much new to this Linux stuff, I installed FC4 the other night to try it out.

I'm having a slight problem when launching Quake 3, it's giving me the error GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

I've updated my video drivers to the latest version and went through fglrxconfig, FC4 is also completely up to date including the latest Mesa release.

I tried symlinking and actually copying libGL.so and libGL.so.1 from my /usr/lib/ directory to my /quake3/demoq3/ directory. It's still not finding the accelerated hardware. Quake3 launches if I run ./quake3 +set r_allowSoftwareGL 1

It's so slow in software that it's not useable. Any ideas on what else I can try when I get home from work today? I've also ran glxgears and get 300+fps.

Here's the vital parts to my rig:
Gigabyte 8IK-1100 (upgrading soon)
P4 2.8C (upgrading to A64 3700+ soon)
ATi 9800 Pro 128MB
768MB PC2100 DDR (I know, I know... but I'm upgrading to 2x512MB PC3200 soon)
Western Digital 160GB - IDE - 8MB Buffer

Any other useful information I can provide, let me know and I'll do my best. Smilie Thank you for looking.
