My graphics are really choppy and slow. I'm running PCLinuxOS with a Readon Xpress 200 128 MB graphics card built in. I also have a AMD proc 3300+ with 1 G ram. I remembered having to configure nvidia drivers for Quake III, but don't know what to do about ATI drivers. Any help?

you'll have to install the fglrx drivers to get 3D support.
I'd suggest you check the PCLinuxOS forums for more information on how to set it up on your particular distro.

Ok, now the graphics look great, but the game "Open Arena" is responding real slow. I can select something and it will take up to 30 seconds for it to respond. btw, you guys are great, thanks for all the help!

go to the terminal and type "glxgears".
If the gears run choppy then your graphics card isn't setup properly.
Open up you xorg.conf and make sure in the Section named "Module" has:
Load "glx" Load "dri"
If that is there and makes no difference, you may have to disable Composite functions. Add this to the end of the xorg.conf
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "0" EndSection
Save it and restart the Xserver.
Try "glxgears" again and it should work fine

The following is what my xorg.conf file reads. The gears appear fine.
Section "Module" Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension Load "v4l" # Video for Linux Load "extmod" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx" # 3D layer Load "dri" # direct rendering EndSection Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "0" EndSection
