Then I have to say you're doing something wrong. My machine is a P-III 800 with 512M RAM, and a 16M TNT2 card. I do use nVidia's drivers. I can play RTCW, Q3A, things like that better than they ever ran on a Win* box for me.
You might want to check the permissions on the nvidia/dev devices:
[root@aragorn dev]# ls -l | grep nv
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 0 Mar 15 18:03 nvidia0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 1 Mar 15 18:03 nvidia1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 2 Mar 15 18:03 nvidia2
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 3 Mar 15 18:03 nvidia3
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 255 Mar 15 18:03 nvidiactl
They should be 666. At first, that's what was blowing up for me, only root had access to the devices. Once I made them 666, my user account SOARED.
Read the page over at Transgaming for your favorite game before speculating on what works and what doesn't.
I am a Transgaming subscriber and I play several games with WineX (however I still have yet to get HL/CS working worth a damn on my machine, but I don't play it much anyway, so I haven't put much effort into it).
Personally, i think Seti@home executable sounds the coolest
OK, OK. I had to try it. I've been cat'ing various things to dsp. The SETI executable does sound pretty cool, some KSpread files are quite cool. No real rhythm, just a neat string of sounds. I might have to work on theis a bit.
P.S.
The SETILog.csv that KSETI Watch makes sounds pretty cool after it's logged a few hundered units like mine has (I've comleted almost 4000 total ov er teh years though). Give it a try!
There is no GPL violation in making changes to GPL software.
True.
BUt IF the source code is released along with the resulting binaries. If M$ has taken GPL'ed code and have claimed it as their own and have not made the source available, they are in breach of the agreement.
I like the idea of free software... especially the "free" part...
Yup, as do I. That is why I'm a TransGaming subscriber. I don't game much, and what I do play has Linux ports out (Q3A, Tribe2, etc.), but I like what they are doing and support them with my 5 bucks every month (OK, I missed one month when my CC got reissued and I forgot to update that with them, but...). That's why I usually buy Linux (well, the major versions anyway like MDK 8.0, SuSE 8.0, etc.). And when there is no buying available, I'll happily donate some spare cash to them (like Gentoo for instance).
etc. It won't install anything. urpmi is a half brain-dead, half-backed version of apt. Portage is a God send, as is apt. But urpmi needs some SERIOUS work. MDK USED to support apt, but stopped support of it back in Janruary or so.
I'm all for a standard here, but MDK? How is MDK compliant with something like this:
~/.kde/share/applnk-mdk-simplified/.hidden
for a menu item location. Are they all using the MDK extension now? Unlikley. Is MDK changing that? Unlikley since the 8.2 release was tagged as "Standards Compliant" somehow.
Don't get me wrong I like MDK, I'm on a 8.2 (heavily upgraded) box typing this, but "Standards Compliant"? No way.
What do you mean "just now"? This was handed to them Late last week. I think less then a week is a pretty good turn around. It shows how much they don't like being bullied by Billy, but sell his junk so they can stay in the black, if you ask me.
I was referring to proxy server software like Junkbuster, not a separate physical machine. - OK, maybe I took you a bit to litteral, but I think my point still stands. How would someone that doesn't know much at all about a computer, know to install this sort of stuff? With Mozzie, it's already built in. That was more my point.
Pretending that Windows users barely know how to use their computers doesn't really support your argument. After all, it's not those you describe who would be writing such software anyway. - Thank you for making my point better than I did.
That 'way of thinking' isn't limited to Microsoft. - Again, 100% correct. *BUT*, since the current topic is Mozzie, their developers thought of things to help the user have a better experience, and work hard to ensure that. Can you stop (for one example) those damn X-10 pop-ups in IE? Nope. As you say, you have to install and configure a fair amount of other software for that to happen. Moz has it built in. (dare I go into cookie management? Yes, I know Tools --> Internet Options --> Securtity and you can play around with that till the cows come home, but will you get the same security and ease of setting that said security up with IE like you do with Moz "out of the box"? Nope.)
Pretending that Windows users barely know how to use their computers... - I guess you've never spent much time on a Help Desk, eh?:-)
P.S. No, I'm not a Linux Zealot, I understand the need for using the right tool for the job. Moz fits that bill better than IE does. On ANY platform. Try that with IE...
There are already proxy servers that filter malicious or annoying Javascript before it even reaches your browser.
While you are correct, this reason for defending IE is incredibly insane. Are you suggesting that people setup a proxy server / gateway in all thier homes because of the failings of the browser they use? I'd LOVE to watch my Grand Ma setup a Proxy Server... heh.
the fact that no-one has done it yet indicates that there is very little demand for these extra features.
Did you by any chance think that they haven't been implemented becuase no one knows IT'S EVEN POSSIBLE, or even knows there is a problem? People have been using IE for years, and most of the people using it have a hard time even turning their computer on ("What OS are you running?" "Ummm... Windows 97 I think." Y'all know THAT converstaion...).
Yes, you are 100% correct, though; no demand, no code. That is indeed the M$ way of thinking.
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe in the future wine(X) can serve as a porting platform?
This is already (kinda) being done. Kohan and The Sims have been "ported" to Linux via WineX.
P.S.
I know "ported" isn't quite the right term for this, but...
The thing is: It doesn't work at all.

There's much better ways to have fun with the (L)users. Do your homework.

I dunno, I'm sure there's some information somewhere. I guess you just gotta look a bit.
Can Codeweavers Wine coexist with Transgaming's Wine?
Yup. Works fine. I've got a couple boxes with both on them. They are happy as a clam together.
