I've just installed Counter-Strike thanks to wine. I installed it into a fake c directory in .wine with the help of winetools . I updated to 1.5, started cstrike.exe with wine and changed the video settings to use opengl, and 1024x768. As soon as I try to create a game, X crashes with the following error:-

(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1024x768"
SwitchToMode - Succeeded

*** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not
*** be the reason for the server aborting.

Fatal server error:

Now I have tried to install Counter-Strike before and actually had an unpatched Retail version working, however I hadn't got the wine part right and when I updated, the game hung on the loading screen. I am so close yet so far :'( I've tried every wine cstrike -- -bloodycombinations I can find on the net, but I am always uncerimoniously dumped back to the console every time. I've looked on Linux Half-Life and no one else seems to be having such an abrupt exit! Can anyone help? More boring info below.

There must be SOMEONE out there who is running CS with an nVidia graphics card with wine!?

The best thing you can do if you want to run Windows games in Linux is download Winex3 from http://www.transgaming.com. It will allow you to use quite a few games including Halflife and the mods. It makes it pretty simple as well. However, it'll cost you a 15 piece (15 bucks), but it works. Unfortunately, it's the only way *I* know how to properly run it. Also, try http://lhl.linuxgames.com/ . They have instuctions on how to run it with just wine, if you're strapped for cash. I truly hope that helps.

15 bucks a month to avoid reading man cvs?

wow cvs is cool...

Well CVS is cool, winex CVS is most definitely not...

Is it true that its just not going to work?

I finally got CS/Half-Life working with wine. My problem was with openGL (surprisingly enough!). I deleted gl.h and glx.h from /usr/X11R6/include/GL and symlinked them to the ones in /usr/doc/NVIDIA[version]/include/GL and recompiled wine. It worked like a treat :-).

one very happy munkeh
