MechWarrior 2
I have been getting this craving for some Mech2 (heck, I'd probably even buy the MSMech4-Mercs if it worked). Does anyone know how to make this puppy work under Linux? Or do I have to use a Grub option not seen in many months? Any of the Mech series is appreciated. I've seen Mech4Mercs running on a buddy's machine and was quite impressed. I bought Heavy-Gear back before I knew Linux existed and found it to be trash by comparison. The Mech engine has always impressed me. Activision did a great job and even Microsoft's Mech4 looks pretty decent. I used CodeWeavers and got it to install in a very pretty fashion. But when I try to run the game I've tried several things and run into troubles. The latest (I skipped the Splash screen and moved right into the game) trouble is that it is telling me that I need to have my monitor at 256-colors or greater. I'm running 16 bit color in X, so I'm guessing this is some setting in Wine or a problem with Wine. I'm running an NVidia Riva card (Diamond Viper 330-AGP) but for the sake of getting it working at all, I chose software-3D this time around. If I can get it to work, then I'll try the OpenGL stuff. Or perhaps I should tackle the OpenGL stuff first? Might OpenGL require LESS of Wine rather than More?

Well, a quick check on www.transgaming.com shows mech warrior 2 doesn't work well with winex. Winex is the version of wine that has directx8 and other features that make games play easier.

Re: MechWarrior 2
It doesn't say that the game doesn't work, it just says that it trips some sort of cd detection code. I just ran a quick google search and there is a no-cd hack for the game so you may be able to get it working. Is Mechwarrior a bit of an acquired taste? I got an oem copy of Mechwarrior 2 that came included with something a few years back... I played maybe 5 minutes of so of the game before the thing hit the junk pile. I do have a Transgaming subscription though and I may have that cd kicking around somewhere yet so I might just try and see if I can get the game running if you're curious about it.

xterm/tty problems
A colleague at work asked me the following, and I couldn't quite remember how to fix it. She logs into a Linux frontend for our beowolf cluster, using rlogin, and when she runs man, it leaves the xterm in a state such that everything is underlined after that. If she uses more, then everything is reverse video. Where do you go to stop this from happening, and what do you put there? This is a tty thing, isn't it. I understood those things, sort of, years ago, but I've forgotten almost all of it... The front end (and the clusters too) are running some version of Redhat. -- --- | Alan K.
