ONLY gui apps work

[slenkar]

Im using Intel graphics
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 865G x86/MMX/SSE2
# wine --version
wine-1.6-rc2

WIth precise puppy linux which is based on Ubuntu precise

The windows GUI apps always work but whenever I try to open any game it crashes with no useful error message

just:
fixmeX11DRV_LoadKeyboardLayout L"00000409", 0080: stub!
fixmeX11DRV_LoadKeyboardLayout L"00000409", 0001: stub!
4 No need Lock

I once tried a game with software rendering and it worked although extremely slowly.

Open source drivers are generally inadequate for 3D games in Wine, and Intel doesn't make proprietary Linux drivers.

how about 2D games like streetfighter megaman

The only way to find out if a specific app or game will work on your system is to try it. Don't expect much. In the past, Intel drivers have even had problems rendering the menus in Office 2007.

Older games like Warcraft3 should run even on intel chipsets. One issue with the really old intel integrated graphics was/is, that even if they were advertised e.g. DX9.0c compatible, they couldn't do every shader model 3 functions in hardware (in some cases not even all the shader 2 functions), see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Ext ... generation . The windows drivers emulated the missing hardware functions in software (driver). The linux drivers are missing some of that emulation, as soon as a game really uses the more advanced shader model 3 stuff, you'd have to expect issues.
