Are you using an ATI card?

If so, did you have to do anything special?

Please let me know if you have CoH working in linux on an ATI card

hi there,
a little update on the ati part of things.
this is how far i get with cedega 4.1.1-1 / xorg 6.7 / ati driver version 3.14.1

this is how far i get right now:
-cohupdater.exe works
-coh loads up
-i can enter my account name and select my server
-immediatly after server selection the whole x session crashes

from what i´ve read on a couple of boards the problem lies in the different implementation of pixel buffers and render to texture of nvidia and ati.
and apparently transgaming is trying to get more support into cedega for ati cards. i guess we will just have to wait.
on the other hand i´ve read some reports of people getting coh to work with radeons <= 9200.
there are drivers available for those cards through the dri project that have accelerated 3D. so apparently those can handle whatever cedega wants from them better than atis own drivers...

any info on getting past that server selection screen is greatly appreciated

kind regards

hi there,
i play coh in linux, too.
the game runs just as fast as on the windows installation on the same computer.
i run gentoo and cedega 4.1 and have coh running in a windowmaker window. i also tried with gnome but that slows it done some naturally.
its also adviseable to use a 2.4.x kernel for playing coh since the lag issues are for some reason worse with the 2.6.x kernels i run normally and the mouse behaves weird (meaning you can't click on things very well)
also i've only been able to get it to run with nvidia cards.
if anyone has gotten it to work with ati cards could you please post here?
that would be greatly appriciated.
kind regards
