I have now tried openarena and it runs OK at 400x300 with the mesa-swx11
driver. Will try further with llvmpipe, at least it builds :)

The only error printout is: Com_QueueEvent: overflow (whatever it means,
only happening at higher resolutions)

See above, 400x300 is OK, and lower resolutions even better.

Another issue: Quake1/2? runs perfectly in 400x300. Please add __GNU__
to Quake/net_sys.h in the quakespasm package, please, see bug #671014
