cant run quake3 or ut2003 redhat geforce 4 mx

hello i have installed the latest nvidia drivers and edited my xfreeconf and tux racer and chromium run fine but i get the following error when running quake3

...loading libGL.so.1: Initializing OpenGL display
...setting mode 3: 640 480
Error couldn't open the X display
...WARNING: could not set the given mode (3)
Received signal 11, exiting...

i have also tried ut2003 and cant get it to run either

Can you switch to a 640x480 resolution?
A better place to ask this kind of questions is at nvnews.

Are you suing into another user? If you are thats your problem. Try running it at the user you are currently logged on with.

Could it be color depth problem (pallete/no palette) ?
