I hate contributing to something and then hearing BS from them. They have a habit of doing this. I'm pressing them and they are telling me these sorts of things. I'm along your line of thinking... What difference should it make. I guess they think that since 8.2 had a pre-release it doesn't work but like I said, "there" latest version doesn't work with the defauilt (pre-release) or the update. I think they're getting annoyed - mainly because they just release a version they say will run a host of new games and people are having issues (and SuSE users have always had this complaint). I'm beginning to think the place is populated with RH fanboys, which is no prob - right up to the point where they start dissing my Distro. Then I tend to get a bit...., let's say antagonistic.
I have got Battlefield 1942 to work with winex. I did see the same thing as you in the support area. Although the game I got running is not perfect (far from it) but it is still playable. I also would like to know if the pthread count can be increased and what effect would it have. I also seen alot of Mandrake people in there as well saying how wonderful winex works with them. Please let us know what you find. I also like you want to be able to get my games to work so I can finally dump the M$ partition. -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, we just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
