Well, another update on Steam:
Steam runns indeed nice with wine. I don't know why it works all over the sudden, but it works ;-) These are the problems I found: *Microsoft Internet explorer needed: I didn't get the builtin shdocvw working. The automatical download of the Mozilla active X control didn't work. I downloaded it manually and installed it but it still didn't work Can someone give me a hint how I make the builtin shdocvw work? *No keyboard without Desktop mode. It seems like wine doesn't pass the Steam Windows to the Window Manager(KDE / KWM in my case). To make the keyboard working I have to use the Desktop mode. Managed = N doesn't work. *I can't move the Window in Managed mode. With Desktop and Managed = N it works. *Steam sometimes causes crashes if I cancel it with Strg+C. I didn't try to play any game because of the download limit problem mentioned in my previous mail. I'll report tomorrow on this. Cheers, Stefan
