Game help

Post by jeffreylb94 »

I have http://www.amazon.com/World-Goo-Pc/dp/B ... 345&sr=1-1 I want to get it on my ubuntu desktop so I got wine. Wine works great with a lot of my programs, but need help with this game. I downloaded the world of goo and installed it on linux with wine. I run the game and nothing shows. How can I get this game to work on ubuntu?

Wine version? Video card? Driver version?

What graphics card? Do
glxinfo | grep str
and/or
lspci | grep -i vga

It's quite possible your system is too old for this game,

says it requires 64 MB of vram and a graphics card
"less than 5 years old".

Considering that the T-30 series of IBM Thinkpads were 'state of the
art' in about 2001, that would make this system way too old for this
game. And no, Linux will not make your old hardware "new again". Linux
WILL run on older hardware because it can.
