starcraft broodwar and cedega


I have this wierd problem when i run starcraft in cedega. this is the series of events:
1)i mount the cdrom drive
2)i run starcraft
3) it freezes in the "loading" screen
4) i kill the process
5) i logout of icewm
6) kdm pops up
7)i log back in
8)i run starcraft
9) it works
10) i can quit the game, start it again, and it works, and i can keep working until i restart my computer

kinda wierd huh. does anyone else have this same problem? maybe a quick fix? if not i'll try to conontact transgaming.

Use wine, or use the latest cedega. I've also noticed that different window managers give out different results. Try KDE, or XFCE, or my favorite FlufxBox.

well, somehow for an unknown reason, i got it working... heres what i did: i installed wine, and then somehow cedega sensed the competition and started working. now that is what i call effective competition. wow.

lol

BTW: hey, i tried fluxbox and i think i really like it. thanks for the tip! (question: what does it mean by partial-gnome support?)
