On: Doom 3 - Linux, Multi-Monitor, DirectX 8 Solutions

You know, it ran quite fine on my FX5950 ultra under plain wine. However, that video card unfortunatly died. (I blame the windows machine I stuck it into temporarily) :(

What's really interesting, is that I have successfully run Doom3 on a Geforce 2 GTS 32mb in wine, this time experiencing the same overbright problems.

I'm guessing you mean Linux, try mplayerplug-in

I never said you couldn't, and I agree about being left in the dust.

Competition and conflict are good things in that they stimulate progress and development.

Variety

On: Mono-culture And The .NETwork Effect

Linux's strength lies in its variety, not everyone will commit to developing with mono.
There will always be alternatives.

Whereas with Windows development everyone and their dog are jumping into .net.

You don't have to use mono on Linux, on Windows this is becoming less of a choice.

I have my detonator drivers installed, everything compiled from source with optimizations (everything dynamically linked as well); and it FLIES - Faster than windows ;o)
