Update, I finally got FS2004 to run with hardware acceleration.<br>

I've tried it with the following configurations, and I had consistent results:<br>
<br>
3.2GHz P4 HT 32Bit Ubuntu - Nvidia 7900GS (100.14.19) Drivers<br>
2.66GHz Core 2 Duo 32Bit Ubuntu Nvidia 9600 GT (171.06) Drivers<br>
<br>
step 0 - start with a clean .wine/ directory<br>
<br>
step 1 - configure wine<br>
set the compatibility mode to windows xp<br>
<br>
step 2 - install fs9<br>
<br>
step 4 - repalce the FS9.exe with a patched fs2004_fs9.1_NoCD.exe<br>
<br>
step 3 - run the fs9.1 update<br>
<br>
step 4 - configure wine to run in windows 98 mode (This only has to be done on the first run)<br>
<br>
step 5 - run fs9<br>
<br>
If you get a black screen when the game starts, disable Hardware Transformation & Lighting from the Display Configuration Screen. (I had to do this for my 9600GT as the 171.06 drivers are still beta).<br>
<br>
I still need to test this on Ubuntu 64bit, but it should work. [img][/img]</blockquote><div><br>Carrotroot,<br><br> Thanks for the updates! Where did you get the "patched fs2004_fs9.1_NoCD.exe" and "fs9.1 update" files?<br>
<br>Thanx,<br>Gerry<br></div></div>
