Ahh hell, i'm even having problems with BIOS. The bios screens are blank when i boot up, unless I use a bootable disk. I can boot up ok but I just can't get into BIOS. Is it possible to flash bios on linux? Can i use wine if i need to?

The maker of your motherboard probably has a downloadable bios flash that you can put on a floppy disk or something. Try looking around on their website.

I guess I'm just a lil nervous about flashing the bios because I've never done it with Linux as the only OS. Guess that won't matter much, huh? What should I do about my low frame rates, I have an ATI x800xl pci-e graphocs card, so I think I should be getting more than 250 fps. When I was running debian sarge 64bit, I was getting like 1500 fps or something. Of course in Debian I had to compile my own drivers from source, so maybe that's what I should have done instead of install the rpms. Do you think compiling my own would give better performance?

hey, check this out. I just did did dmesg | grep pci and got
Code:
ACPI: bus type pci registered |
I had posted this in a different forum, but I wanted to put it up here as well.
Today i tried a new filter for dmesg. I ran dmesg | grep resource and this is returned: Code:
Allocating PCI resources starting at 50000000 (gap: 40000000:a0000000) Code:
-memory:0 |
I've been reading this guide and have found it very useful so far
I've been able to install wine, and have copied the WoW folder from my XP partition into /home/jimmy/.wine/drive_c/program files/WoW I can launch the game fine using wine "C:\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe" -opengl thats not the issue, I can see the login screen but no matter what I enter it returns "Disconnected from server" and I see the following in the terminal Code:
fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 113 (SPI_SETMOUSESPEED) Regards |
been Googling/Forum raiding/IRC'ing for several days now and still no progress
Is there an option I need to set to allow WINE to access the internet? someone PLEASE help me! free cookie to the person who helps me solve this :P J |
Since I've had a hard time finding a solution for this, I'd thought I'd share the wealth so no one else has to
it seemed that the upgrade to the latest version of wine (*.50) didnt retain some settings, I also made sure that thru winecfg, the drive "D" was mapped to /media/sda2 (being my windows C drive) also I had to re-run wineprefixcreate from the command line (apparently this re-creates the wine files under ~/.wine but I'm not hot enough on Wine to know this) then I could run the game by calling wine "D:\WoW\WoW.exe" -opengl (make sure u use the -opengl parameter) There are some issues connecting, I believe this is due to the new background application Blizzard has implemented to catch hackers (bit like Steam for half life) so yet to find a solution (will post when I do) But all seems well as I can play guild wars thru wine now Just like to give a BIG shoutout to the original poster, who I contacted via e-mail to find out about this issue, and to "MKoR" from the #winehq IRC channel who talked me thru the whole thing Regards |
