I just now reinstalled it for nostalgia reasons. Hopefully there's some net 
activity for DM.

I'm trying to edit the config.cfg file and add a .bat file but so far no 
luck. My recollection after almost 8 years is nil.

This from one of the Quake .txt files:

SSPEED
  Syntax: -sspeed <speed>
  Description: This will ask the sound code to set the playback speed
    within the constraints of the capabilities of the card.  This is
	11025 Hz by default and usually from 8000 to 44100.  Making this
	faster requires more CPU horsepower, and has no actual benefits,
	because the sounds only contain 11 KHz data.  Making this slower
	degrades sound quality, but improves performance and saves memory.

How do you set the mouselook to always be on? And how to adjust the gamma? 
It's way to dark. I'm running GLQuake.exe.
