Author Topic:   Well, I got it working... after a week

I have slackware7 install, x4.0.1, the latest wine with CVS and NVIDIA's 9.5 drivers with my geforce2, and it _wasn't_ a peice of cake to get working. It crashed over and over and over and over compaining of things from wine not having opengl compiled into it (it was) and as some points I got the windows error pop up about something or other invalid, sometimes halflife would just say opengl doesnt work, and sometimes it would go but then freeze. After much seaching I figured out loading right into counterstrike (the mod I play) helped from some of the crashing, -game cstrike add'd to the command line. But what made it all work in the end was having the right libGL.so and libGLcore.so libraries in the right places on my computer.
/usr/lib/libGL.so -> libGL.so.1.0.5
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.5
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.5
/usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.5
libGLcore.so.1.0.5
I deleted all the other libGL's and left those exact ones with those links and that seemed to be the winning combination to have halflife counterstrike run fine on my machine.
Some problems I'm still having, is that halflife loads in the corner, and then the server window for it, or console window pops up in the middle of the screen. And the mouse movment seems a tad chunky, but that might be kde's fault. Anyhow, cheers, thanks for this page.

Hey,
firstly, congratualations :-).
Secondly, the libGL stuff.. i was pretty sure that was mentioned in the NVidia install guide (???), maybe it wasnt.. but ill have to look around and find out and put it in the HOWTO.
Now, the thing with the screen.. i get this aswell, kinda sux.. but thats ok.. i just wait until ive loaded into the game, then, since its in the middle of the screen, pressing "ctrl+alt+plus(numpad)" cycles to the correct res and i can play nicely. Although this res has to be a valid mode in your XF86Config.
cheers
good luck
David
