I used to do all of Turkey Point's Forklift repair, when I worked for
Caterpillar, until (after they had shut down the reactor due to a
radioactive steam leak that went on for 8 month inside the containment
building) they brought a truck out to me, and after I watched the
contract guards sweep it with a Gieger counter, and then resweep the
forks area. when they brought it to where I was, they said it's clean,
but try and stay away from the forks. I had already decided that the
type of person working in the nuclear power industry was the kind of
person much more worried about covering their butt than getting the
job done right, so I decided right then that they could bring that
forklift up to the shop in Miami before _I_ worked on it. WHen my
Supervisor told me I _HAD_ to do turkey point's work, I quit working for
the Caterpillar Dealer (well, gave 2 weeks notice)

Well...I've heard a lot of pro and con arguments about WineX. I have to admit 
that I myself have mixed feelings. One argument goes that because a 
particular game will work under WineX, that game manufacturer won't port to 
Linux. Transgaming argues that they are making much easier for companies to 
port to Linux because of their experience.

As for myself, I don't own any Windows game that has a native Linux port - I 
always buy native ports, if I have a choice.

Now...how about Starcraft and Diablo2: LOD or Warcraft 3? From my 
understanding of cosmic events - Blizzard says just plain no. My 2 sons love 
these 3 games and want to play networked with me. So whats the choice for me 
here? Just tell them too bad - sorry about your luck there? I could buy a 
copy of WinXP, setup dual booting, then buy these Windows games. OR I could 
use WineX to run these games under Linux and when I send in the warranty card 
let them know that I'm running it under Linux, (my preferred OS) and please 
consider future ports for this OS.

I've actually had people tell me that its better to buy Windows and install it 
to play Windows games than to use WineX...how can anyone reach that 
conclusion?

Personally, (and I don't want to hurt anyones' feelings here) I think thats 
just universally dumb.

and thats IMHO big grin

What hardware are you using? Lowest machine I had it running on here was a 
K6-III @ 475mhz with 192 megs Ram and a Voodoo 3000 card. It worked very well 
there. Ran it for a long time like that.

BTW, when you ran the video test under Diablo2, did you pick 2D or 3D? Its odd 
but you can tell very -little- difference between them except that 2D is 
faster and more stable.

it's a k6-3 700mhz, had 256mb, now has 512mb.  i believe i've run
3d, i may try 2d and see if that helps.  i also moved the video
from 24- to 16bits (nvidia geforce 2 w/64mb + the new drivers). 
that seems to have helped some, but this system has always had
one problem or another.

thanks for the advice.

BTW, when you ran the video test under Diablo2, did you pick 2D
or 3D? Its odd 
but you can tell very -little- difference between them except
that 2D is 
faster and more stable.

You should get Quake III--it really rocks rocks, using the Winblows CD with
the Linux installer. Much less trouble to install than Quake II.

 Native, fast, smooth. Can't believe it. Wasn't this nice when I ran
 the damn game under Win98SE or WinXP. Brilliant. NOT that I play games
 often, but since I don't have much to fix on my machines nowadays, well,
 I had some time to play around.
 
 Now if I can get American McGee's Alice to run, I'll have my three
 faves: Alice, Half-Life (and all mods) and RTCW.
 
 I bought QuakeII a few weeks back - anyone know of a linux
 installer/launcher for that? (grin)

 The following quote is from page 4-27 of the MSCP Basic Disk Functions
 Manual which is part of the UDA50 Programmers Doc Kit manuals:
 
 As stated above, the host area of a disk is structured as a vector of
 logical blocks.  From a performance viewpoint, however, it is more
 appropriate to view the host area as a four dimensional hyper-cube, the
 four dimensions being cylinder, group, track, and sector.
 . . .
 Referring to our hyper-cube analogy, the set of potentially accessible
 blocks form a line parallel to the track axis.  This line moves
 parallel to the sector axis, wrapping around when it reaches the edge
 of the hyper-cube.

It's obviously changed since I look at it last. I remember having to
install different tarballed libraries and jumping through other hoops
to make it work. Looks like this is cake now, too. 

Guess I'll have to load another distraction on my machine. Oh well ;-)

Ran the id software 1.41 update, copied all the pak files over from a

Sys_Error: Sys_LoadDll(ui) failed, no corresponding .so file found in

now, I notice I have a qagame.mp.i386.so, but no ...sp.i386.so. Is

make a copy of that file in the same dir.  Then just rename it to
