Okay, so I think you just answered my question that I've been having. I'm
a huge UT fan, but I cannot get it to run in RedHat Linux 7.2. Is this
because I have not installed an accelerated X Server? If so, how do I (or
point me in a direction at least). I also have an nVidia (a GeForce 2
MX). How can I make sure I AM running an accelerated X Server? Thanks
for the email man, this will be awsome if I can get it running.

so far i've tried adding append="mem=nopentium" to my lilo.conf,
compiling Memory Type Range Resistor support into my kernel as well as
removing agpgart support and still i get lockups. these are all of the
fixes i've been able to find mentioned online and here, but none seem to
work. i'm running an accelerated x server (NVdriver) so i can play
games, use opengl apps, etc and they seem to run fine, though if i run a
program that uses a lot of processor resources (i.e. seti@home), instant
lockup. aside from completely removing agp support and reverting to a
non-opengl/accelerated x server, i don't know of anything else i can
do...
