Thanks for the info provided as its usefull in knowing whats going on in 
the background ...
Relatively to gaming on Linux I hope it grows with time (and its growing 
:) ) 'cause its one of my favorite hobbyes and rebboting the comp just 
to play isnt a good thing ... but whatever ... we have wine and i think 
indead of being alpha its geting more and more compatible it the main apps
I will apreciate looking at the config files you use so if can send it 
i'll be gratefull ...
Thanks..
