Hi All,

I fixed the permissions on those files. Sorry I missed it...I've been a tad distracted the last while.

@T..remember to set attribs to 644 or rw-r--r-- or let me know when you have a problem via pm.

When using wget with passwords that are now on puppylinux.asia do this

wget -c http://puppylinux.asia/members/T/apps_sfs/wine-1.1.18-i486_420.sfs --user=puppy --password=linux

Eric

PS...Beem and Henry you are not blacklisted...lol..just a permission problem

Cripes Beem..I trust the ftp users to know how to upload...sheesh...AND do their own backups!!

That beer sounds interesting.

I'm a bit busy with the new things coming..we'll see how this all shakes loose.

Sorry I missed the perms.
Eric

Don't worry caneri, I was just poking a little bit.
But in fact, from a bartender in the Ardennes in Belgium, I got a package of Unibroue beers.
So I had a taste of it already.
Some were good.

Hey I just installed wine-1.1.17-i486.pet and it says I'm missing some dependencies.
For wldap32.dll.so: libldap_r-2.4.so.2 & liblder-2.4.so.2
For wineesd.drv.so: libesd.so.0

Is this going to be a problem running 3D games?

not unless you use an exe that requires them ... they are "soft" dependencies, but they are small and available from the same location as wine... see links earlier in thread

I'm trying to play a certain game called Ragnarok Online and I'm having some trouble enabling the use of my ATI Radeon x700. There's a separate program that is the configuration of the game. There's a dropdown menu that lets you choose the type of graphics you'd like to use and I don't see my ATI Radeon x700 in there. There's only D3D. I have recently installed MU's ATI Catalyst 8.12 with Xorg. So OpenGL is enabled. Do I have to enable opengl in Wine or something? I'm using Wine 1.1.17 on Puppy 4.1.2.

inside of a wine game, you must use "opengl" if that is available.
If not, you can try the Direct3d driver.
Wine is mapping those drivers to Puppys native opengl drivers (in your case those from Ati).

But Ati just has limited support in Wine.
If a game uses Direct3D pixel or vertex shaders (like Bioshock), you will see black areas, or a completely black screen.
This is one reason, why I installed XP again.
To play games in Wine, Nvidia cards are the first choice.
Some run fine though in Wine with Ati, Those that support OpenGL in Windows, like "Chronicles of Riddick".

For Ragnarok, you might find hints at:

But the problem is that I don't have the option of using the ATI Radeon x700 in the settings. Otherwise, I would choose it. How come it's not there when I've installed ATI Catalyst with Xorg? Unless, it's just another ATI bug blehh

MU · Posted: Fri 10 Apr 2009, 21:42 Post_subject:

no, you cannot use a ati driver from inside of your game.
If you can select a manufacturers driver in your Windows program, it will not work.
Because it would be a Windows-driver!

Wine supports only these 2 generic Windows drivers: Direct3D and OpenGL.
When you select one of these two in a Windows program, then internally the Linux driver will be used, with full accelleration, if it provides it.
As you have the Linux Ati driver installed, this one will be used by Wine and so also by your game.

And as I said: usually the OpenGL Windows driver works better, but not every game has OpenGL support. So if you have bad luck, only the less good Direct3D driver is available (for example in games, that have no option to select a driver).

I hope, I coulld explain it better now.

Umm.. I uploaded 1.1.19 to puppylinux.asia/members/T/

went to change permissions but the connection timed out at about the same time and now I am getting
500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/mnt/w1011/d39/s12/b02d8349/www/puppylinux.asia/members/T/

I get a similar message when I try to go to puppylinux.asia/members/T/
Cannot read /mnt/w1011/d39/s12/b02d8349/www/puppylinux.asia/members/T/.htaccess

will PM eric to try to get it fixed

Hey..I just happened to be on the forum...it's fixed.

LOL..I did that to myself before....and wondered how in the world I did it. I had the wrong area highlighted when I changed perms I guess.

Anyway it's good now...directories are 755 and files are 644.
