Source games work fine under my Wine, though the ESD driver sucks for sound.
FF 2.1, on the other hand, crashes when I select a class. Very strange. That's the main reason I have yet to get completely rid of Windows. |

Well, GOLDSrc is terrible under alcohol.

I've had great luck in directx 8.1 mode. I get smooth framerates, and I can set all the settings on high. Note: AA seems to be disabled. In directx 9 mode, I notice a severe performance decrease, though it does look nicer.
To use 8.1 mode, just add this to your FF command line in steam: -dxlevel 81 Hope that helps man |

I had it working a few years ago. It was KANOTIX linux and the bleeding edge wine at the time.
I was very impresssed. half life 1 games ran flawlessly. and most of the source games I had at the time worked too. I am going to give the newest stable ubuntu a try tomorrow. If the X-FI drivers work I plan on just shit canning windows. all I play is steam games, and call of duty 1,2,4,and waw. My game is cross platform, so I can develope in windows, mac, linux. are you running 32bit or 64 bit ubuntu? i am going to be sampling the 64bit version. If it dont work, I will give gobo and gentoo another chance. |

Wine... it only works with Directx 8 for me...
Team Fortress 2 and other source games look like poo. FPS sucks, too.

If you are worried about loosing settings and stuff, you might want to conciter making a separate /home partition along with your /swap and root "/". Then when you re-install any other linux you can tell the installer to just mount your /home without formatting it, and to only format swap and root before installing. Nice to switch to SUSE or Fedora, and all your favorite applications have your preferences, all set up for you. |
