Hmmmm I got a copy of Doom3. I have heard you can make that work on Linux. Well let's give the GLXGears a try and then see if I can get Doom running again.

Doom3 is easy to get working. You install the Linux engine, and then copy over the wad files from your Doom3 install disks.

Right, all the id games are pretty easy to run on linux, if you've got an nvidia card properly configured with 3D acceleration. I like quake 3 arena and still find the online q3a gaming quite interesting, but for some reason doom 3 and quake 4 don't strike me as that much fun. OTOH unreal tournament 2004 is great. YMMV.

Then you probably won't like this one either, but its pretty cool: http://www.alientrap.org/nexuiz/

Yeah, I've looked at it, it's not too bad. Right now I'm using intel video (my nvidia card died) and while it's perfectly fine for most uses, it doesn't quite have the horsepower to do some games justice. q3a still plays nicely though, and I've recently been experiencing a blast from the past with the doom1 - available in yast as "vavoom" (also plays heretic and hexen) Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
