Post n00b guide for getting Warcraft3 running on Linux


Hi guys,

Looking for solution for this probelm? me too. Why this post then? Cuz I will post here every information that helped me out in solving this problem.
OK, I admit, this target is maybe little bit for kids only, but what a heck.

Here are my resources:
- winex
- WC3
- Slacware 9.1
- Radeon 9700Pro with 128 RAM
- MoBo will tell when I am back at home
- 1GB RAM
- XFree 4.3.0

Further, all problems will be posted with solutions.

I asume that You know how to get XFree working, that You know how to edit files and that You are not scare to blow up youre PC.

How I like to have this tutorial done?
In next post, I hope second on this thred, I start to explain what I have done and where did I get stuck on something.
What I expect from rest of interested ppl is, that they will post they problems and their solutions too.
Then when we are so good as sure about that our tutor works I will make one document.

cheers

Arrow Intial steps:

1. Slack installed from scratch on my second drive
2. Got this LILO configured
3. Installed XFree
4. winex installed too.

So as You can see nothing special on the system, except winex.

First real step is reading of this EXCELENT article:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=83035

as I used it as my guide, I have to explain few things:

I have done every thing as CrsH is discribing, all instalation setps went OK till I tried to trun fglrx_gears.

problems started...

so in this topic I will explain all I hev done to fix my problem.
Still problem is not fixed but it is work in progress
