Hi, at first i have to mention, that i am an freshman in Linux. I am working with it since half a year and still trying to get the basic-knowledge. Nevertheless I've wanted to install Diablo, my favourite game, on Wine. But when I start the setup.exe with the 'Wine-Windows-Emulator' an dchoose the installation-path, only an video-sequence starts, then it returnes to desktop. When I look into the directory I've installed the game in, there are some datas but the .exe doesn't work. So my question is, have i made some mistakes by installing wine, just typed "yum install wine" into the shell", or did I have to do something special to install Diablo. I'll be greatful for every hint or solution. Heinrich

I've tired to start it in an virtual-desktop with the same results. But now, there is in Applications - Wine - Programs an folder called Diablo, even after the deinstallation. Anyway thanks for the hint Heinrich
So do you think it is the displaydriver wich causes all the problems with Diablo. Should I Install an different driver and when yes, wich would you recomment.
