PKR not working with Wine 1.0.1 and Eeebuntu

Post by benst »

Even though the game PKR (from pkr.com) is supposed to work fine with Wine and Ubuntu 8.4, it's not working on my Eee PC 901 netbook.

The game starts fine, and I can log in, then view a list of current tables, but when I try to go to one of the tables the graphics go all corrupted.

Even at the table list screen, the mouse is out of allignment by about 50 pixels.

Is there a wine log somewhere that might tell me what the problem is?

Thanks for any help.

Could it be so that your video-card is simply not powerful enough?

What's the minimum requirements for that game and what video card and drivers do you have?

It works fine under winxp on the same hardware.

You didn't answer vitamin's question.

The fact that it works under XP on the same hardware is irrelevant. Linux drivers are not equal to their Windows counterparts, not even from nVidia, which has the best Linux support. If your netbook uses ATI or Intel graphics, that's most likely the problem.

I just noticed your subject header says you are running Wine 1.0.1. That version is old; the test results in the AppDB that say this game runs well are all for newer versions. Try upgrading to the latest development version (currently 1.1.13).
