------- Additional Comments From anderson.smiranda@gmail.com 2006-28-08 08:49 ------- Ok... I've installed the proper NVidia drivers for my Linux and the game stopped complaining, everything seems to be working now (except for the GameGuard and the mouse centering problem, but these were discussed into another topic yet).
Well, the only "problem" that I see in presenting the driver to Windows apps based in the Linux drivers is that if you don't have a proper, up-to-dated, Linux driver available for your video card at all, then you're totally screwed... Also, if you're using some weird unknown adapter installed with its own wierdo video driver, Wine probably won't be able to properly parse it either.
Maybe it could be able to implement some kind of "Virtual Graphics Adapter Driver" into Wine. This "Virtual GFD" would contain basicaly the adapter's vendor and driver version, and maybe some adapter capabilities as well, if that's required by the adapter. These would be the info presented to the Windows apps when they require it. Also, this "Virtual GFD" should be something as simple as possible, with just the basics, allowing the community to provide new versions of existing drivers as well as creating and supporting new drivers as soon as they're required.
Ok, I'm not sure whether that's a good idea or not, neither if it's possible to do so. But then I'm not the expert here, I'm just giving away my 2 cents on this... ;)
Well, thanks for the help. I'm changing the resolution of this thread to FIXED.
