Running Linux 2.2.5, enlightenment 0.15.5 voodoo 2, matrox millenium 8
meg...

Sound and my mouse (psaux) work just fine under enlightenment. Like
everyone else on my floor, i bought a voodoo 2 and installed it to play
quake 3.  Im having problem no one else is, and one of the only
differences is my use of enlightenment.  Still I have no idea whats up.

I installed the voodoo 2, downloaded the latest Glide drivers for it,
installed those, ran the game.  it launches fine, except i have no
sound.  oh well small thing ill iron out later i think.  I configure my
controls and such and launch the server.

the keyboard works fine!  I can move and shoot jump etc.  The mouse
buttons work fine.  but ANY mouse movement has bizarre effects on the
screen.  i thought it was a sensitivity issue but i turned it all the
way down and the slightest touch of the mouse and I am eithe rstaring at
the ceiling or looking at the floor.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

I'm not sure about the mouse but if your running quake2/3 under Xwindows and
running E you most likely have esd running.  I would kill esd if you want
sound when you play quake.  try 'ps auwwx| grep esd' and look for the pid
and kill it.  This is a possible explanation for why you have no sound.  I
also suggest running quake under a ligher windowmanager or no windowmanger
at all.  Save on resources. ie

edit your .xinitrc in your home dir and add the line
'xterm -e /usr/local/games/q3test/linuxquake &' ?

I'm not sure if that will work, but its worth a try.
