I'm just suffering from the fact that q3 doesn't run on my new rh8-box
either.
I didn't find a solution for my problem, but i think i found your
problem mentioned at some other place,.. 

see if it is help full for you

##################################################################### 
For all you Sapphire and other "Powered by ATI" card owners, here's how you make the driver work if you get "no matching Device for PCI ID" etc etc error when starting X:
open a shell, and su to root. 

then type "lspci -v | grep ATI" 

the command should print out the PCI ID numbers for your ATI card, like
this: 

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device
4966 (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA])01:05.1 Display controller: ATI
Technologies Inc: Unknown device 496e (rev 01) 

See the 01:05.0 and the 01:05.1 numbers? those are the PCI IDs for the
card, although you'll need only one. Notice that those IDs are the ones
of my Sapphire card: they might change for your card. 

Then you edit the XF86Config-4 file generated by fglrxconfig and look up
the BusID option in the Device section. 
Change the numbers to the ones you found from the output, like this: 

BusID "PCI:01:05:0" (notice that the .0 in the lspci output has become a
:0) 

Save the file, and you can start X! You can check if everything went
right by using the fgrlxinfo command from the shell, it should print out
something like 

[lb@largo lb]$ fglrxinfo 
Loading required GL library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 
display: :0.0 screen: 0 
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. 
OpenGL renderer string: Radeon 9000/Mobility Fire GL 8800 Prototype DDR
Athlon (3DNow!) 
OpenGL version string: 1.3.3477 (X4.2.0-2.5.1)

or 

##################################################################### 
You MUST have version 2.5.1 of the drivers to make it work: version
2.4.3 won't work with "Powered by ATI" cards. Version 2.5.1 is now
available on ATI's website.

regards, and may your quake-less times be short :o)
