Guess who's lost interest suddenly :-( I'm excited to learn there is an ebuild for it and that some have success in getting it to run under gentoo-amd64. I'm going to try it out later this week. I've been booting into Windows for little NWN breaks from the Perl scripting grind, it'll be nice to be able to stay in Linux. Obviously, I purchased the Windows version, I consider it $40 well spent. I do regret the Bioware/Atari/WoC/whoever/etc requires you to purchase/have a Windows installation in order to run it from Linux. I am glad however, that they kept to their word and did release (the original game) for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. That alone led me to purchase the game and register on their site as a Linux user. I suspect that NWN2 (in development by a different outfit) will not be multi-platform, but alas, such is the state of the gaming market. Those of you running NWN on gentoo-amd64: I've got an eMachines M6809 that I run NWN on (Windows). I suspect I'll have to get the ATI drivers working in Linux in order to have any hope of getting the game to run smoothly, yes? How painful is it to get the ATI drivers installed and working on the eMachines M68xx series of laptops? - --- Chuck Milam [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://chuck.milams.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFC7leSlh+fpI+PkrcRAvkLAJ4/qQPXjjB2r7+hmHVpI9jpR+87bACfTtMp OBfWCZxQVGTI+Bs/IvfsPXE= =JiBt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [email protected] mailing list
