"Try LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 doom3-demo and see if it works. (It
is in the FAQ from id)"

I don't know why we have to do this, but it works for me. (the game just
runs god-awful, though).

Well, that "unable to initialize OpenGL" line would seem to be the place
to start.

Also gotta wonder about those several 'couldn't exec *.cfg' errors, but
maybe that's a 'demo' thing, since some of the files exec fine.

Anyway back to the OpenGL thing.... what video card? what drivers? is
direct rendering on? have you run opengl-update today?
