To know whether hardware acceleration is available or not you can type
glxinfo | grep rendering
It should say "direct rendering: Yes" if everything works right.
You should check out http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/index.html
Perhaps you will need graphics/linux_dri as the game runs under the
Linux compatibility layer but I don't know. I have an NVidia graphics
card so I'm a bit spoiled :) RTCW as well as Enemy Territory run just
fine here.
