This isn't an XFree86 problem, it is a problem with your Quake 3 
installation.  Presumeably you've had an Nvidia or some other 
video card installed using externally supplied video drivers, 
and a symlink was made to the libGL either incorrectly, or hard 
coded to a location other than that specified by the Linux 
Standard Base (/usr/lib/libGL.so).

If you've previously installed any 3rd party drivers for any 
other video hardware, such installation may or may not have blown 
away the Red Hat supplied and required libGL and/or other 
important files.

Hope this helps.
