--- Comment #3 from Thomas Orgis thomas-forum@orgis.org 2010-09-17 08:03:43 CDT --- This is on a ThinkPad X200, Intel graphics. DRI is supposed to work, though wine doesn't think so, cannot find/identify the 3D support. It might some misunderstanding as I run wine inside a 32bit chroot and the host system is 64 bit. This usually works with OpenGL apps .. glxinfo says direct rendering is active (inside the chroot). Glxgears works, too. So I rather suspect some failure to properly detect the OpenGL setup.
I didn't investigate this further with wine itself... as I am mostly not interested in 3D windows apps. But I do remember that the Homeworld demo was rather slow, but then, it was the same on another machine with Radeon HD3200. And it very probably would have been much slower for software rendering.
