halflife & wine

[Alex Sanks]

Well I've read all the docs/howtos for this and it's still not working 
for me.  Everytime I try to do a 'wine hl.exe' it gives me the good ol' 
opengl is not supported on this device error.  Nothing in the wine 
console.  This is with build 20010112 (and also a very recent 
one...forget which).  I did the enable-opengl configure flag.

I'm trying to run it on a mandrake 7.2 (with a 2.4.1 kernel) with 
XFree86 4.0.2 on a geforce 256 using nvidia's drivers.  These work fine, 
as I can run quake3 just fine (native linux, not thru wine...)

I've already recompiled a couple times...can anyone shed any light on 
this?

I'm in agony now that my roommate's re-addicted to CS and I'm running 
100% linux since windows ate my harddrive :(

Also somewhat offtopic, but is there any particular reason that nobody's 
distributing opengl-enabled wine binaries?  It takes forever to compile 
these things...it would seem that it shouldn't be platform dependent, 
since I was under the impression that the opengl api was supposed to be 
standardized accross everything, but I don't know anything about the 
guts of it so I could be wrong.


Anyway, thanks for the help (also if you could cc: to 
madcow_ucsb at yahoo.com I'd appreciate it...flakey news server here :(  )
