<DIV><BR></DIV>HalfLife/Counter Strike for example works great, you see no
difference to a <BR>Windows System. But I guess that is because Half-Life is
working with OpenGL. <BR>Therefor wineX doesn't has to "translate" directX to
OpenGL like in <BR>Battlefield 1942, which only supports directX.<BR>With
Battlefield it's still the same Problem: I only have 256 Colors, Texture
<BR>probs and a quie poor performance. Also the Joystick doesn't work
correctly. <BR>You can't assign the Axes for example.<BR>So is there anybody
who has it running good enough to make it really playable?<BR>Or is there
anybody wiho knows somebody who has it running satisfying?<BR>Greetz and thx
