I just bought Half-Life. i have looked on the internet and seems like billions of people are running it under linux. i am running Slackware 9.1 with WINE 20031212. it will lauch HL but then when i click on new game , then easy, it will hang up. but sometimes it will start playing and i hear a lady talking but no video. i think my video is set up right. i have an Intel 810 video card. thanks
You must make sure that you have dri loaded at your XF86Config to enable 3D acceleration. Also, make sure that you are using OpenGL display driver (that you choose at Half-Life's menu). At Frank's Corner you may find a tutorial about getting it to run.
If you choose to invest in WineX, it should run right away without tweaking anything though
Regards!
