What's wrong with the xf86quake version? It's a pain to set up. It's difficult or impossible to get it at a decent resolution. It often messes around with the mouse sensitivity in bizarre and broken ways. It's waaaaay out of date, and so has many more bugs in, and none of the nifty new stuff. It doesn't support QuakeWorld. It doesn't have CD audio support built in. It's totally unsupported (squake and qwcl are officially unsupported but in reality new versions with bugfixes and enhancements /do/ come out regularly). Pretty much nobody uses it or cares about it.
