hey dudes,
i just emerge wine and winex to play half-life. with wine i can start half-life, but when i want to start a game in software modues, wine crashes. when i start half-life with winex, in opengl mode, half-life says, that opengl isnt supported. i think winex doesnt support opengl, although i used USE="opengl". ive installe nvidia-kernel/glx, but i downloaded it from nvidia and didnt use it from the ports. i dont know what to do, i just wanna play hl

Something tells me that you should be using something other than OpenGL mode in Half-Life. In the configuration of Half-Life, you can select Software, OpenGL, or Direct3d. I know that Winex supports Direct3d, but I don't know if it supports OpenGL. With a hardware-accelerated card in Linux with Winex, your best bet is probably to use Direct3d mode (because that's what Winex is for - emulating DirectX)

wine/winex should be opengl compatible, but i think you enable opengl with ./configure.. but how to enable it from portage ? and direct3d doenst also work... same error - the mode is not supported.. blahblah

Half-life does work in opengl mode (quite nicely)
Some suggestions:
1. is Load "glx" uncommented in your /etc/X11/XF86Config?
2. did you run 'opengl-update nvidia' after installing nvidia-glx?
3. is the driver for your vid card set to nvidia (I doubt X would display correctly if it wasn't, but still)?
Ok, 3 things  |

I've never done this and it's always worked fine for me. I'm pretty sure this is done while/right at the end of a nvidia-glx emerge |

| if none of the other suggestions works it's worth a shot to switch to a diffrent resolution in X aswell |
