Thanks technosaurus
I installed each pets above. It works to run little program but I had no success with 3d games. I tried even with older version, but I think I will never run a window game Sad

This wine package I think does not have the open GL support enabled so you may need to try the other one available on the forum...if openGL is working for your card then wine will use it automatically.
I can play 3d games on wine with no problem,

regards

the 1.14 release has support for opengl (it is compiled against everything wine supports include GL and GLU - however there is one gaming patch/hack that was not applied because it may? cause regressions in other places) - the 1.13 does not have support for anything that is not included in puppy & is slightly faster so I have left it up

It was actually a lot of work to get Xcomposite and GLU support - The devx and xorgDEV pet were missing a bunch of stuff so I had to download the whole 100mb dingo source archive and patch some pc files. I can upload a pet if anyone wants it as it should work for compiling other opengl programs too

As far as games many don't work out of the box (even if all the pieces/parts work)- check winehq.org to see the nuances for any particular game

edit: btw you may want to uninstall 1.13 and reinstall 1.14 to regain 3d support

Wot he said ^^^

One tip is that I found many games would only run properly if preceeded by a cd (call directory) to the programs folder as otherwise it could not find it's own files as launching from linux is not quite the same as launching in windows.

please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (zipped).
OpenGL seems to works, just not the PIXELFORMAT stuff.
Wine's opengl implementation uses some Nvidia specific code, and sometimes fails with other cards.

Btw. there is quake 3 for Puppy:

There also is

But I cannot find the corresponding forummessage.

Dear technosaurus,

Your version of 1.1.14 works fine under Puppy 3.01, too. Many thanks for the compilation and the inclusion of features such as Jack and openGL. Interestingly, I had previously installed 1.1.15 from the Suse 10.3 distribution and it worked fine except that winhlp32 did not work (old-style help). I don't know whether this is a regression problem relating to v. 1.1.15 or a problem with the Suse compile. In any case, your 1.1.14 does not have this problem, so I replaced Suse 1.1.15 with your version. Good work.

With kind regards,
vovchik

You need driver 71.86.06 from:

As you use the retro kernel, this pet might work:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=22272
It also might not work, as that kernel was recompiled in Puppy 4 retro.

So you might try Puppy 4.12 with the standard kernel, then you can use the pet from here:

Very impressive packaging of opera - only ~6MB including flash plugin in a single runnable exe

The download is not working for me. I don't remember how to copy and paste the error messages to show you. They say something about the file being corrupted or not expanded and told me to go into .packages and do some sort of thing to fix it. when I tried to extract the tar.gz, I get an error message about some "needed program not found." I don't understand, I have not had this problem with trying to install any .pet packages before.

When I click on the download link, I get some sort of "exceeded downloads limit" message. I really would like to get this package...where else can I download it?

Hi gymnart,

I'm very sorry but pupylinux.asia has used all the bandwidth for February.

I'll see what I can do and post here.

EDIT:..well ok..I need to run the diff and move the files because of my mistake but there you go...d/l now. We have had a problem with speeds so please bear with me.

P.S. which package has the file, libesd.so.0? I checked the dependencies with pup's "Check Dependencies Installed" tool and that's the file that it says is needed.
