wine users - Nov 2005 - Halflife / Counterstrike (using Steam) does not work.

Hi,
I'm using Gentoo Linux and Wine 0.9.1.
I had no problem to install Steam, but Halflife and it's Mods like CS
doesn't
work. After starting the game through Steam, the background image appears, 
but there are no menu entrys and the App didn't reponse anymore. If I 
minimize CS and maximize it again, the background didn't get repainted. When
having virtual desktop disabled and cs windowed, the background didn't even 
appears. When having virtual desktop disabled and cs fullscreen, the 
background is painted, but the other windows of my desktop are painted in 
fornt of it. I also tried sofware rendering, but this changed nothing.
Has someone an idea what to do?

Florian

Hmm...

I'm not a Gentoo user, but since you're running Gentoo I'm going to
assume you compiled Wine yourself.  Are you sure it was built with all
the build dependencies (notably OpenGL libraries) included?

Just a guess,
Scott Ritchie

Hopefully Halflife2 is even configured to use opengl!
No matter if compiled in or not.
I don't know much about HL2 but played the original CS and Halflife.
and there you had to set openGL-mode manually in the setup or a
configfile.

as that are windows-games i assume they use DirectX by default.
and the DirectX implementation of wine is far from being complete.

So either try to set it to use OpenGL if that is possible with HL2 or
you have to use cedega.
