So I installed misc packages (can't remember which - there are so many
different ones, I just installed anything with mesa or gl in the name) and got
direct rendering: Yes
The FPS for gears went DOWN to 70 something! But Half Life now works!
Well, sort of... whilst the graphics are smooth and fast, I can see through
floors and walls - not good when I can't see where I'm standing! - and some of
the graphics jump about. Also if another window pops up (mail has arrived) the
Half Life display goes black and I have to kill the process.
Perhaps I need to be more careful on my package selection, but I'm not sure
where to start. How does Wine know which 3d libraries to use?
