369709 2005-07-05 11:12:00 Thats right. I got it working..

So phoey to all you windows users that complain about linux not being a gaming OS.

What a load of crap. :p :p :p

If you wanna know how to do it, I put a howto here (www.telescum.co.nz):
I'm running it on Fedora Core 3 btw.. too bad my gfx card suxx0rs...

369710 2005-07-05 11:46:00 You can do a lot with Cedega and Point2Play

Heck you can do a lot with WINE as well.. OpenGL games etc

369711 2005-07-05 12:32:00 Any idea how it compares against it running on Windows with the same hardware?

What is your hardware (CPU/ram/vidcard)?

369712 2005-07-05 12:57:00 Well, it still has the same glitches as when I was playing on windows, such as when you start a race (in race mode, not free run) and the AI cars are near you, the framerate slows...

But I *think* it may be a little nicer.

I have XP2600 @ 2300mhz, 512mb ddr400, gf4 mx440...

There is one bastard thing tho, it won't bind the keys to what you want. I tried to set it to A and Z, shift up and shift down, but when i went to play it was actually . and ; and setting up, down, left, right made it go to w,a,s, and d. So i left it on defaults, until I sort it out. Default keys are mapped properly.

Also when I use NOS, the right button doesn't respond. Every other key does but right. I remember this didnt happen on my win2k, but it did on my brothers win2k, so am usure wat to do about that.

Otherwise tho, I'm happy.

369713 2005-07-07 04:07:00 Performance? A while back I downloaded a Powerpoint doc from the nVidia website showing how they benchmarked in Windows & Linux and the Linux drivers could acheive up to 30% better performance in Quake 3 than in Doze (Quake 3 was the test app) Chilling_Silence (9)
