 Posted: Mon Sep 13, 2004 10:02 pm Post subject: Wine or Cedega or DirectX Substitue. |
 |
|
| i want to play games on my gentoo gnome install. but when i run one like Wolfenstein ET it just spits me back out onto my desktop in a bad resolution. then i tried to find an emerge package to substitue directX because the game said it needed it. i could only find wine and cedega. so i go to emerge it and it says i have to go and buy a subscription. Does anyone know how to get a directx substitute without haveing to pay for it? |

Enemy Territory is available for Linux, natively (opengl, in a linux executable, not windows).
emerge enemy-territory |

there are no real alternatives for directx support under linux except for cedega and wine. Unless you want to try vmware... Win4Lin has no directx support, so that won't run.

Please then paste the error, especially the part about it needing a directx substitute. |

| Sounds like you haven't configured GLX and opengl on your system. Search the forums and you find how. |

Note that Cedega/WineX/Wine/et cetera aren't Direct3D for Linux, but are instead applications that emulate Windows, and thus DIrect3D. So, there isn't any Direct3D to set up. Just OpenGL, hopefully - in you case - via the nVidia drivers, as the ATi drivers are total crap. |
