wine users - Apr 2009 - VNC/XEPHYR/8bit/256 colour mode and wine

i did some research about old games on new computers; found a link pointing me
to vnc or xephyr; downloaded both, couldnt even get vnc to function, xeph did
ok, except for the purpose to which i wanted it for. the game will not even
start in wine; its warcraft 2; before i used xeph i could start it until i tried
bnet; then colour mode kicked me out; now i cannot start it, whats the deal?
also xephyr doesn't work the way the 250 colour workaround on winehq
described; so i went to another site and copied there command and ran wine from
the new 640x480 window xephyr opened; which gave me a debugging script; not the
game.

Same problems.  Tried xephyr and the game wouldn't start at all.  I'd
get some errors and it would lock up.

There is no need for vnc/xephyr. In case of warcraft II (the windows version)
just look at appdb for starcraft on how to run it in opengl mode on modern
videocards. It should work fast on Nvidia.
