wine users - Jan 2001 - New TransGaming Patch

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

I guess the answer is no.  Too bad.  I wanted to try it out.

Oh, thanks very much. I managed to get Unreal working (although it would
not load any levels) with quite an old build, but I have had problems
even running it with more recent mile stones.

My system is slightly more out of date:

XFree86 3.3.6
Matrox Mill II graphics

Anyway, hopefully when the Transgaming patch makes it into the main
builds, the situation will improve.

FWIW, I also have had much more success running stuff like Excel with
older milestones than newer ones.

Developers: This isn't a rant! :P
