For the libglide you can get the glide drivers from www.download.com and type
in "linux" in the search. You'll get 4 pages of Linux goodies including the
drivers  -  those are for the Voodoo2, right?


As far as the pic/colormap.pcx - I think that is from trying to run the SVGAlib
version under X.
In the documentation it states the command line for starting which server under
each circumstance.
Checkout www.linuxquake.com too.
