Quake III is unusably slow and choppy.

I am running the Number Nine Revolution IV card with an SGI 1600SW flat
panel on Linux kernel 2.4.3-12smp with 2x700Mhz intel.  XFree86-4 w/i128
server.

gnome looks great but I can't seem to get this OpenGL rendering.

/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 looks correct and has the following "Module"
Section:

Load "dbe"
Load "GLcore"
Load "dri"
Load "glx"

however glxinfo reveals "direct rendering: No".  I have pasted the
output of glxinfo below.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
