Whilst bored I purchased HalfLife for Windows, having read people mention on Slashdot that it runs on Wine. I run Debian (woody) on an AMD Athlon 1.4GHz machine with 1Gb RAM as my desktop. It currently has a Voodoo3 video card, though I have a dual head Radeon which I'm going to use once I get a monitor that is compatible (my current monitor has a very wavy display with that card). I installed Debian's Wine packages and went through the half life install without event. Running HL proved to be dreadfully slow. I read the Linux HL faq and wondered whether the Debian Wine was compiled with GL support. I remove the Debian Wine and checked out the CVS. HalfLife now freezes after drawing the first menu option with this error: err:win32:_EnterSysLevel (0x407afb38, level 2): Holding 0x4084cc04, level 3.

TNT2, K6-III/550. Something's borko with your 3D accel, though I know Debian doesn't enable OpenGL on WINE. David Bronaugh
Is this the latest version of wine ? Your debugger seems to be misconfigured as it outputs nothing. Otherwise check http://appdb.winehq.com for tips.> wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger... > > Tried as a normal user and as root. > I downloaded the mesa demos (gears etc) to test my hardware > acceleration, gears > works just fine - 200 fps. > > Any ideas? > -- > Web: http://sydb.dyndns.org > ICQ: 152392113 (New to ICQ? http://www.mirabilis.com) > IRC: #sydb on EFnet (New to IRC? http://www.irchelp.org) > _______________________________________________ > wine-users mailing list > wine-users@winehq.com > http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en fran?ais !

I couldn't find the client anywhere. If anyone knows different, please let me know.
