I hav erecently setup a box with mandrake 10 community release and so far I am very pleased with the distribution so far and am looking forward to the final release.
After the initial problems with network and ICS (now sorted out and working fine). I moved onto setting up my favorite games. First I installed point2play and winex3 they installed with out any errors or complaints. But when I go to install any games the computer just sits there like a stunned mullet. If I try to launch Gnome monitor to see what is running it wont launch.
If I try to stop winex via the point2play interface it crashes, if I try a console to kill it the console hangs. Then If I try a reboot the system hangs on shutting down smb and it just sits there.
I have got Savage to install (linux installer) and it runs fine. Quake3 (again Linux version) it launches but hangs on loading libGL.so which causes the console to become none responsive.
If I try to install something with wine it also has the same effect.
I am using the NVIDIA 5336 driver as earlier versions even though they install, glxinfo shows direct rendering =no where as the 5336 driver has it set to yes.
I have recieved back an e-mail from transgaiming and they are aware of some problems with winex and MDK 10, new version of alsa, kde 3.2 and the 2.6 kernel.
I have been and grabbed all the latest updates for mdk 10 and some problems have been fixed with my install like annoying squeeling from sound card (soundblaster live)
Has any one else experienced similar problems and if so have they been able to resolve them.
I am running the 2.4 kernel as I chose lsb on install. I really dont know what else to look at. Have been on MDK club forum looking for answers, and have been able to fix other problems. But it seems that at the moment on my system at least that wine and winex are pretty much broken.
Quick update. Winex is still broke and so is wine. but I have several games running, Quake3, Savage, ut2004demo al Linux versions. The sound is horrible in all games, with significant lag in that area. So my system is capable of running 3D games.
but don't ask me what i did to correct it, i beleive i said "N" to loading the windows registry (i have a dual boot with windows) ....
but i think i dropped the hard lock in the command line (but when i rebooted it would lock up smb)
and i actually had wine working right for a bit, but then i made changes to my fstab trying to do some sort of quiet mount....and haven't bothered with it since...
though i couldn't get the game to install i was trying (which gave me those vfat quiet mount things)
1) Uninstall wine
(If it installed a fake windows in /home/YOUR USER ACCOUNT/.fake, be sure to delete the whole ".fake" directory. If it installed it in .c_drive, remove all the .c_drive (etc.)
2) In terminal, type:
$ urpmi xwine
3) It will say it needs xwine-BLAH and wine-BLAH
Choose Yes - install them
4) Install WineSetupTK (you will probably have to look on the internet - I am using version .74 I believe)
5) Go to Menu -> More Applications -> Emulators -> XWine
Click Start -> Parameters -> Wine Config -> WineSetupTK
6) Use the default directories it gives you
Everything should be up and working. Seems XWine has support for DirectX as I have been playing some DirectX 6 games (haven't installed any 8 or 9)
