Remember, when you open a full-screen 3dfx display, you're not really
creating an X window.  So, whatever X window happens to have focus
"underneath" the 3dfx display will get the input events.

Check out the Mesa-3.2/demos/glutfx.c for one way to deal with
this.

I haven't run QuakeII in a long time.  Don't know what the problem
is there.
