Doom 3 - Linux, Multi-Monitor, DirectX 8 Solutions
nukem996 writes "While the official port of Doom 3 to Linux is still not complete and we still do not know when it is going to be out, other then 'in a few days after the Windows release', Linux users can finally play Doom 3 on Linux with the help of Wine." Elsewhere, an anonymous reader points to a post on the GideonTech forums explaining multi-monitor Doom 3 play, with the caveat: "Doing this with only 2 monitors completely sucks. You want atleast 3, or 5.. or any odd number of monitors (so your center of playing field isn't split between two monitors)." Finally, toasted_calamari explains: "We have written a guide to optimizing Doom 3 for DirectX 8 systems, particularly older ATI Radeon cards. This guide should assist owners of older hardware in running Doom 3 more effectively without upgrading."
... if the headline didn't contain both "doom 3" and "linux" unless the linux client was out, so as to not make me jump unnecessarily.
Stumbling in the dark
I hear slavering of jaws
Eaten by a grue.
If you're a linux-only user but want to see what doom3 looks like on your system, just simply turn your monitor off.
I keed, I keed!

Finally? For pity's sake, the game has been out for less than a week...

I'm sure both of you must be thrilled.
Oh wait - you're talking about the PC, not the player. Never mind.
