I have the same problem:
New openSUSE 11.2 64bit + Quake3 from PackMan :: Package details for quake3

The problem is probably in the audio API OpenAL

I have troubles with FPS and have the same monitor as you but with a different GPU , Nvidia GeForce 9400GT…

idee · November 28, 2009, 6:53pm

For documentation and trouble shooting, mine is a GeForce FX 5200 (dual monitor out), on an Athlon 64 3800+.

Stating the obvious also, verified that none of the quake based FPS are working, WoP, Smoking Guns or Quake. Paintball2 however is working.

creatura85 · November 29, 2009, 9:05am

idee: try quake3 in wine it will work. As for Smokin`guns and Urban Terror they work fine to me.

idee · November 30, 2009, 3:34am

Thanks,
Actually the biggest problem I need help with is getting the (linux demo?) version of Quake 3 Arena working as the base engine to play World of Padman with my 9 year old son. Quake is a bit too much for a 9 year old. So, I need to get past this locked black screen issue. Were you able to get that running?

Isn’t Smokin’ Guns another Quake mod? It opens but only as a black screen. The difference in this and Quake Arena or WoP is that it doesn’t lock down the desktop.

creatura85 · November 30, 2009, 8:41am

Yes, it is another mod of Quake3 but now is stand alone, so quake3 is no longer required to run the game

Same thing goes for Urban Terror, World of Padman, Open Arena or Warsow

idee · December 1, 2009, 4:47am

OK, thanks. I uninstalled all quake, io-quake, WoP, etc. and then rebooted. I then reinstlled WoP and it automatically installed io-quake as well. So that seems to be the minimum. I am still at the black screen that kills X.

Is there any way to correct this? Earlier someone posted some error output to help debug and mentioned the sound. Is that worth looking at and where would that need to be made? On my machine, it locks hard and I can’t even start it from a terminal session to view the results. I’m kind of lost and just looking for anything at this point.

thanks,

creatura85 · December 1, 2009, 8:29am

Try to install the games from this link - = World of Padman = -](http://padworld.myexp.de/index.php?files) instead of using YaST, of course after uninstalling all that you have installed using Yast .

idee · December 2, 2009, 2:38am

Thanks,
I’m a bit busy tonight, but will give it a shot tomorrow. So this is a stand alone version? That’s great. I’ll get back.

georgeyz · December 3, 2009, 5:59pm

Problem solved:
edit file q3config.cfg, add line:
seta s_useOpenAL “0”

THX Toni (packager quake3)

creatura85 · December 4, 2009, 8:04am

Thanks, this solve`s my FPS issues with ioquake3 as well

creatura85 · December 4, 2009, 8:23am

To complete my first post, the setting adjust`s the FPS issues in quake 3 arena and true combat mods as well. I suppose that this is available for all games that uses the quake3 engine.
