I got it to work just fine using Wine 0.9 from the WineHQ site.

I wanted to see what all the fuss is about so I installed Ubuntu recently. It's not bad. For me it did not detect and configure things as well as Mandriva always has. In Ubuntu I had to hand configure the X server for my dual monitor which Mandriva picked up on with no hand configuring at all. I was not fond of it's text based installer. It's straight-forward and pretty easy to use but I've become spoiled on a GUI installer. The real star of the show for Ubuntu is apt-get. It's just as easy to install things with it as it is with urpmi.

Perhaps try installing smb4k. Lets you mount samba shares quick and easily and once they are mounted it will remember the share and automatically mount them when the program is started.

I am using MDK 9.2 with a Rage 128 Pro Ultra AGP video card. The video seems to work fine but I cannot get 3D accleration to work. I've been up and down my XFConfig file and I installed the drivers from the DRI project but no matter what I do I cannot get the 3D to work. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

I have a Rage Pro Turbo in my system and I used the mach64 driver. Everything works fine. Including the 3d accleration.

I've got a Voodoo3 3000 and it plays RTCW just fine. I haven't tried ET yet though.

If you run drakconf you can run through the setup for the X. If you are using MDK9 you can select the to use the version of X that has hardware acceleration. I can't think of the version at the moment. I believe it is 4.2. It will say 3D acceleration so just choose that one and it should work fine. I've got a Voodoo3 3000 and it plays OpenGL games very well.

I thought about doing that but there are 2 things: 1. I believe I've seen the command switch somewhere where I can change the gamma when I enter the command to start the game. It is just I cannot seem to find that switch anywhere. 2. If I write a script, how can I tell the system in the script to change the gamm back to it's normal settings once I exit the game. I don't want to have to do 2 scripts, 1 for starting the game and one for after I exit the game. That's too much of a pain in the butt.

Does anyone out there no how to turn up the gamma on Quake 2? I've got the brightness turned all the way up but the game is still too dark to play. If I turn up the gamma using the xgamma command and then run the game everything is cool but I really don't like to have to turn the gamma up and down everytime I go to play. I'm pretty sure there is a command line option to adjust the gamma but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I installed it using urpmi. If you have the contribs sources setup in rpmdrake all you have to do is urpmi centericq.

I'm running MDK 9.0 and running OpenOffice 1.0.2. OO runs fine in KDE but when I start it in Gnome it start up and I get to the first screen and then the program just closes. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but that doesn't help. I also had this problem with the previous version of OO that's why I upgraded. Any ideas on what to do? I would really like OO to work on both KDE and Gnome since I switch between the two a bit.

Well it looks like my games are still freezing. The "mem=nopentium" line in lilo did help somewhat but every now and again I still get a frozen system. It would be a big big deal but it does happen enough to be a really big pain in the butt. Looking for any other ideas.

I've been using mldonkey for the last few months just fine. About a week or 2 ago mldonkey started killing my net connection. I'm on AT&T cable. I don't know why this is happening all of a sudden since mldonkey was working so good. I know someone that is a tech for AT&T so I'm going to pick his brain and see if he knows anything.

I tried downloading the RPMs and the src RPM won't recompile and regular RPM won't install. I've been playing foobillard for now so I'll worry about kbillard later.

I added the "mem=nopentium" line and that seems to have did the trick. UT froze on me once but I had some other things running that might have locked it up. Quake 3 and Tuxracer are working fine and haven't locked up when I exit them.
