quake3: no hardware acceleration! - How to solve?!

[Strong]

I have ATI Radeon 9250 128Mb 128bit, Celeron 2,24GHz and 512Mb RAM.
I played many times in Quake3 but now get this:

$ quake3
...
couldn't exec q3config.cfg
couldn't exec autoexec.cfg
Hunk_Clear: reset the hunk ok
...
...loading libGL.so.1: Initializing OpenGL display
...setting mode 3: 640 480
Using XFree86-VidModeExtension Version 2.2
XF86DGA Mouse (Version 2.0) initialized
XFree86-VidModeExtension Activated at 640x480
Using 4/4/4 Color bits, 16 depth, 0 stencil display.
GL_RENDERER: Mesa GLX Indirect
***********************************************************
 You are using software Mesa (no hardware acceleration)!
 Driver DLL used: libGL.so.1
 If this is intentional, add
       "+set r_allowSoftwareGL 1"
 to the command line when starting the game.
***********************************************************
...WARNING: could not set the given mode (3)
----- CL_Shutdown -----
RE_Shutdown( 1 )
Sys_Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

How to resume playing?! - Thank You!

Hey,

Sorry to be changing the subject but... Where do you guys get games to work
on linux from? I mean good games, not just 2-3MB crappy ones

The latest shooters from Id and Epic (Quake 4 and UT2004) have native linux
clients available for download or on the CD. You need  the windows versions
of the games for the game data.
Some independent developers are porting to Linux, but most mainstream titles
are not ported. You could try running windows games using wine or cedega,
but most of the time it's not worth the effort (IMO, certainly if you
already paid for a windows license) unless you really want to make a point
of only playing on Linux.

There are a lot of older games ported by Loki some years ago but most are
not running on modern distributions anymore and since Loki is out of
business there's no way they are going to be updated to work again.

trying to boycott it once and for all... I'll try y luck with WINE and see
what goes from there
