  1. You can run Virtualbox with windows XP inside linux for when you want to game or invest in a service called Cedega I believe which is great from what I hear for gaming... Wine also runs some games and so on.

  2. Ok reformatted and Wine still giving me problems... I tried going back to .930 or something(previous version that worked fine on 2007.0) and the new one its like .935 or something.... Numbers are most likely wrong but you get idea. Anyways everytime I start it sends me right back to login screen. I'm running standard no 3d or metisse or anything. Note that on 2007.0 it never did this but I feel Wine dosnt like 2007.1. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix?

  3. Ok so here's the deal... I had no problem installing the ATI drivers from website on 2007.0 but on 2007.1 I get this

     

    Detected version of X does not have a matching 'x720' directory

    You may override the detected version using the following syntax:

    X_VERSION=<xdir> ./ati-driver-installer-<ver>-<arch>.run [--install]

     

    The following values may be used for <xdir>:

    x430 XFree86 4.3.x

    x430_64a XFree86 4.3.x 64-bit

    x680 X.Org 6.8.x

    x680_64a X.Org 6.8.x 64-bit

    x690 X.Org 6.9.x

    x690_64a X.Org 6.9.x 64-bit

    x700 X.Org 7.0.x

    x700_64a X.Org 7.0.x 64-bit

    x710 X.Org 7.1.x

    x710_64a X.Org 7.1.x 64-bit

    Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install.JH4355

     

    It says I can replace but am baffled at what it says right here

     

    " You may override the detected version using the following syntax:

    X_VERSION=<xdir> ./ati-driver-installer-<ver>-<arch>.run [--install] "

     

    Can someone break it down for me on how exactly to override so I can install the drivers for my card off the site? Thanks.

  4. If you have the wireless drivers for windows you can just right click the connection thing in taskbar... click configure network.... Wireless... Add windows drivers using ndiswrapper.... click the .inf wireless driver on disc and voilaaa

  5. Does anyone seem to know if an ATI Xpress 200 in a laptop works with Metisse or beryl or anything... I tried loading beryl and it wont load and metisse runs so slow it drives me crazy... Like 10 sec delay on everything... I have a gig of ram and the ATI Xpress 200 can play counterstrike and stuff so its not terrible and id think it would run beryl and metisse but I cant seem to do so... Anyone know why?
