vsync is short for vertical sync.  It synchronizes the framefrate from the
game to the refresh rate of the monitor.  With it enabled your computer will
not draw any more frames than your refresh rate will allow.  Disabling it is
good for testing, but under most conditions it is better to keep it on.   It
doesn't matter how many fps your computer is capable of when it cannot
display any more fps than the monitor's refresh rate allows.

To enable it and disable it you would look in the video option menu in quake
2, it is called "sync every frame".   You also have to disable it in the
video cards drivers 3d options.

as for the crosshair problem, that may be due to the 256 color.  Why do you
have to play in 256color?  where are you setting this options and why did
you try it?.
