This worked with: Wine CVS from Jan 29th + Transgaming patch XFree 4.0.2 NVidia drivers 0.9.6 Had to turn off DGA, and force wine to manage created windows, otherwise I get a glXMakeCurrent error when it tries to set the current GLX rendering context. The frame rate isn't quite windows, but the demo is certainly playable. Good luck, Dan "Chris Howells"

I'm completely new to WINE, but I've managed to get it working... of sorts. Playing Freecell under Linux is all very well but trying to run Outlook Express caused no end of errors. Any tips? By the way, even running Freecell caused a load of font type errors... -- ------------------------------------------------- Richard Spandit Firmly on the Linux wagon SuSE 6.3, KDE 2.0

I recently downloaded the wine tarball from codeweavers (ver. 20001026) and ran the config script. It gave me an error saying that i needed to have the Xfree86 dev files and xpm. I installed both off of my mandrake cd's and it still gives the same error. any suggestions? Thanks in advance Tommy

Hello, I am not great at figuring out compilation problems - usually I just curse and give up. Trying to compile Wine from binaries I get the following error, anyone knows what's wrong and can offer some help on how to get it to work? (the stuff at the top was cut out to save space) ----- make[2]: Leaving directory `/share/Emulators/wine-20010305/tools/specmaker' cd `dirname

Hi all, I took the CVS from WineX (as mentioned on the transgaming.com Website). I downloaded fine and compiled fine. But: I have only a wine exec, but no winex. In the tools subfolder, there is a winex. But when I run it it just states, that some dir´s are missing (/usr/lib/transgaming and so on). The exec winex is only a script, no bin. Does somebody know how to build a real winex with DX8

Hi, I have sent this message before does any one have any ideas? We really need to be able to run Java class files from the root of a samba share. I think that the problem may have to do with Samba file name mangeling and that this may be preventing the java virtual machine from finding the calls file through the classpath environment variable. Here is the original message. Can any one help? We

Hi, Maybe you've talked about this many times before, but i've got a problem with DirectX. When i try to run any application that uses DirectX it just tells me that i don't have it installed on my system. The fact is that i do have it installed, and works fine in Windows ME, maybe the version is too recent? i'm using DirectX 7. My system is: Linux Redhat 6.2, Windows ME,

Hi all, I was trying to run Diablo II under WINE, but I receive a "Direct3D failed to initialize" error in a dialog box. The log says this: ***** DirectDraw error: Failed to get gamma control interface! - < unknown > (0x80004002) I tryed to run in both 640x480x16 and 640x480x8, but both give the same error message. I'm using Linux 2.4.1, XFree86 4.0.1 on a GeForce256 DDR

Does the current CVS version of wine have the transgaming directX patch already in it? I'm pretty sure that I've installed wine correctly. I installed the most recent RPM available, and the Diablo II installer says that it can't find direct X. I then downloaded the tar-ball, and tried to run the transgaming patch on it, and it said that it had already been run. That's not so

Hi: I can't get Red Alert (The old version, not Red Alert II) to work with wine. This is suprising since the Apps database on winehq.com has three entries that say Red Alert works. For me the screen goes black and stays that way. I get out of it by killing X witn Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. This the the error output from wine: Invoking /opt/wine/bin/wine.bin /WIN95/westwood/redalert/ra95.exe ...

Hi, I'm trying to install the game "Aquanox" under Wine which needs DirectX 8.0. I've found a mail in the wine mailing list archive stating that wine already includes DirectX, but Aquanox keeps complaining about a missing d3d8.dll. Trying to install DirectX 8.0, I end up with "DirectX couldn't be installed on this computer". Any hints on this one? Sebastian --

I've tried to install the game "Caesar 3" on my Linux-box. It worked fine during the installation. The problem appeared when I wanted to play it. Caesar 3 needed the file DDRAW.DLL I found out that it was one of DirectX's .dll-files. Isn't Wine supposed to work with DirectX without installing it? Doesn't Wine have its own "DirectX-clone"? What should I

Ever, not counting a special kind of DDraw games (haven't seen a single one yet, but the code is there...). AJ stated that until Wine will be stable enough it should never completely grab mouse/keyboard input. You'll need to reboot/power

Hullo, After having my Samba server joined to a domain, I'm now having difficulties configuring winbind. I want to use the idmap_rid backend, and have recompiled Samba from scratch with the requisite rid.so module. However, no matter how "idmap domains / idmap config" is set up, it seems to get totally ignored. Here is my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = DEPARTMENTDOMAIN server
