HalfLife on latest CVS

[Michael Pacey]

Whilst bored I purchased HalfLife for Windows, having read people mention on
Slashdot that it runs on Wine.

I run Debian (woody) on an AMD Athlon 1.4GHz machine with 1Gb RAM as my desktop.
It currently has a Voodoo3 video card, though I have a dual head Radeon which
I'm going to use once I get a monitor that is compatible (my current monitor has
a very wavy display with that card).

I installed Debian's Wine packages and went through the half life install
without event. Running HL proved to be dreadfully slow. I read the Linux HL faq
and wondered whether the Debian Wine was compiled with GL support. I remove the
Debian Wine and checked out the CVS. HalfLife now freezes after drawing the
first menu option with this error:

err:win32:_EnterSysLevel (0x407afb38, level 2): Holding 0x4084cc04, level 3.

wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger...

Tried as a normal user and as root.
I downloaded the mesa demos (gears etc) to test my hardware acceleration, gears
works just fine - 200 fps.

Any ideas?
