I have The Windaz versions of Quake3 and RTCW runing like a dream under mandrake BUT im after MORE... Is there a way I can get Medal of Honour AA and/or SOFII to run under Linux ? please any help or news would be great.. 8) Cheers Adam.

ok i got WineX... And Wile installing a game or app i get an Error saying "Couldnt Load the DLL Library, E:\Setup\Extras\Cs\Getinfo.dll. Out Of Memory" ermmm Anyone seen this ??

OK thanks @ Admiral LSD .. I know im DUMB i got the mdk90up.586 and all is sweet now but im not sure as to why i had to get i586 drivers when i have a i686 system ?? Can someone explain this ? Thanks again Adam.

OK kewlies ill give that one a go BUT these are the exact same Nvidia Drivers i had installd the last time round..What would make them work before and not now ? ;(

You HAVE to edit the XF86Config .. The changes are in the Nvidia Doco very simple to do.. Haa But now .. I decided after spending the last week getting to know Linux it was time for a FRESH Install and time to setup the whole thing how i wanted it. DOH - BIG MISTAKE - Now wile installing the 4191 Nvidia Drivers im getting this "error: failed dependencies: kernel = 2.4.8-26mdk is needed by NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.mdk81up" But in the Control Center it tells me i have "2.4.19-16mdk" Any Ideas ?? Thanks

Thanks but i sorted it out... i didnt have a compiler installed.. The new Nvidia RPM's done the trick.. Cheers

Sure did.. to the letter and it DIED... umm that was using the Nvidia RPM's when i use the TAR.GZ's I get this ?? "You appear to be compiling the NVdriver kernel module with a compiler different from the one that was used to compile the running kernel. This may be perfectly fine, but there are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour and system crashes. If you know what you are doing and want to override this check, you can do so by setting IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH. In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel. *** Failed cc sanity check. Bailing out! *** make: *** [gcc-check] Error 1" ????? I know im a DUMB n00b but if i cant get help here how does anyone learn ? Thanks

yeah thats the ones i got last time and it seemd to kill X What The ?
