OK I know the xquake works fairly well (excluding mouse support) and 
xf86quake seems to reboot the machine on exit (plus I cant get it smaller 
than 640x480)
So what about squake, it complains about libsvga, Im not really a FreeBSD 
guru so I assume that FreeBSD has no libsvga though linux does correct?
