I've had versions of X11 quake, SVGAlib quake, and SDL quake running on
my system.  The first two were before I went to uni, and therefore I
know must have been under 2.2.  I used the Quake HOWTO, here:

Both X11 and SVGAlib Quake ran absolutely fine as well - that was on
either a Celeron 300 or an Athlon 700, with 32MB or 64MB ram and an S3
Trio graphics card.
