Where from do you start Quake ? From the console ? From X ?

If you started from the console, chances are, that you are still using the
SVGAlib in some way. Check with ldd and follow eventual links, please.

Other than that: Do you have _any_ working driver for your chipset ?

LibGGI doesn't do magic (well only just a little bit), you will still need
some kind of driver. Either in SVGAlib, in X, in fbcon, in kgicon, or
whatever ...

CU, Andy
