hmm, seems almost everyone else has no problem getting WoG to work in wine. for me however, the graphics are all garbled up. It seems like verything that should be on the screen is there in priciple, but with most of the textures missing or something. During startup when there should be all the funny quotes, all I get is dots. This is on ubuntu intrepid on a thinkpad x61t with some crappy integrated intel graphics thing. Other OpenGL stuff works fine (the gl-screensavers anyway). Haven't tested anything else with 3D in wine. had the problem both with stock wine from intrepid and with updated wine from debian experimental (which is 1.1.12).

Anyone with the same problem? Any suggestions?

I suggest signing up for the Linux beta and see if you have problems there, too. It may be that your Intel graphics card doesn't support some features necessary for the DirectX emulation by Wine (which probably uses OpenGL) or maybe it just runs out of memory or something like that. The Linux port uses OpenGL too, so maybe it has the same problems, but it would be interesting to give it a try.

I signed up for the mailing list, but I haven't received any confirmation or any list mails.

I've tried running under wine on three systems.

Two work and the third displays garbage. Nothing I've tried will get the third machine to work.

I suspect it depends on the type of graphics hardware. You best bet to wait for the Linux port.

Hi.. I wrote a little guide that might help you.
