Found something else that worked pretty good... I documented it on the wiki. Went from 320FPS to about 2200FPS... much nicer. EQ runs pretty good in winex now, and NWN looked pretty good for the 10s before it crashed. Matter of fact, EQ died pretty bad on me after about 5 minutes. I think, instead of trying to dick around and get Windows games to play nice in Linux, I'd be better off dual-booting and playing my games in Windows itself. Nice thing about Win2k is that if I don't give it drivers for the Promise card that all my Linux drives are attached to, it can't bugger anything up. =) -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ Online Security Resource Book; http://linsec.ca/ "lynx -source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
