I am running VMware 2.0 and Q3A under SuSE 7.1 w/ the 2.2.18 kernels. It is a bad idea to interrupt the boot process on Win98 running in VMware. Other then that it works fine. I've done my taxes with TurboTax and they are a bitch this year. The audio of the video clips doesn't work with my sound "card" (Yamaha DS-XG and OSS). Q3A doesn't work with ALSA, but does with OSS. No BSOD. I shutdown X and restart it with Q3A as the client when I want to play. Since doing this I have had few, if any X lockups. When it locked up X, I could SSH in and run things including Sax, but the video card was always left in a strange state and I'd have to reboot. Both are more stable (or I've learned to work around the troublesome spots) under 7.1. I am using 3.3.6 X server. With your hardware, mileage may vary.

HG2 does the same to me too, exact same error meesage. I think your 3D is working fine, but it maybe a compatibility with some Loki games and maybe glibc 2.2. If you check product requirements you will see it mentions glibc 2.1.
I haven't got 7.1 yet - I'm still on 6.4 - but will be upgrading in about a month's time when I get home (working overseas at the moment). I'm a bit concerned about this library issue - are there many packages from third parties that don't work on 7.1 because of the library update?
In particular I'll need Vmware as stable as it is under 6.4, and want I'll to play some games (Q3A in particular). Is this too much to ask? Should I wait until companies like Vmware Inc update their packages, or am I worrying about nothing?
