FWIW, I've run Quake II under 1.5.2 as a LINUX binary straight from the
CD's.  I was never able to get network play to work (though I didn't try
under 1.5.2; I tried under 1.4 years ago, however).  From the CD's, the
installation was straightforward (except that I used the cpio option
rather than (I think) the rpm that they provided).

The only definite problem that I encountered was the final scene (if you
win) crashes Quake II.  X, and the kernel, are okay, but the game never
really completes.

I never tried a natively compiled version from pkgsrc.

(Of course, the version that I tried was compiled for GNU/LINUX on the
i386.  The CD's claim that accelerated OpenGL (or at least GLX) is
required, but this is not true; it runs with plain X as far as I can
tell.)
