Hey all,
I'm very new to Wine, but I was very excited about the potential behind it,
so I tried installing the 2.2.3 X11 XQuartz package from
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/Releases and kronenberg.org/darwine
's stable 1.0 version of Darwine on my Macbook that is running Leopard
10.5.3. The installs were easy, but I'm having some difficulty now with
actually getting some programs to run.
The sample programs that came with the Darwine seem to run fine with no speed
difficutlies or gobbling up system resources, but after being bold and trying to
get STEAM installed, I ran into some problems.
My first problem is that this message repeats over and over again in my Wine
Log:
fixme:xrender:X11DRV_AlphaBlend Unable to AlphaBlend without Xrender
My second problem is when I try install one of my STEAM games (like Half Life)
or watch any of my downloaded media. A different error message keeps repeating
over and over again in my Wine Log:
err:wgl:X11DRV_wglGetProcAddress No libGL on this box - disabling OpenGL
support!
This second problem is especially troublesome because I can't even download
media from STEAM without this problem, much less any of my games. After a few
minutes of seeming inaction and that message repeating itself a hundred times or
so, STEAM quits suddenly, citing the error message:
Error
Steam.exe has exited with an error, have a look at the Log window...
I suspect that these are X11 problems and not Darwine problems, but I thought I
would try to get some help wherever I could. Googling turned up no helpful
information, so any bones thrown my way would be really appreciated.
Another potentially unrelated problem I have is that when using Darwine, my
system resources tend to be in really disproportionately high use for the
programs in action, my processor spiking constantly and my RAM use doubling with
little provocation. If this is the inherent nature of Darwine so far, then
please never mind this, but otherwise, I would really appreciate any help I
could get with this.
Thanks a lot,
Arcturus
