Firstly I need to find out if anyone has a game made with DBpro running on Linux. I intend trying WINEx for linux as this apparently runs games made for Microsoft Directx and runs the normal code as you would for a Windows based program.

Has anyone done this before ?

Secondly,

has anyone used an intergrated graphics card in a motherboard using 32Mb shared memory ?

Thanks

Peter

I have been using a few computers that has it´s graphics chip integrated on the motherboard, mainly Intel.
Why do you ask? Can you be a bit more specific about that question?

to make it easier for others.

what flavour linux>?
what verion/data of wine
whats the speed of your mobo
how much ram have u got
is it a geforce onboard set?


Personally I dont like onboard stuff, you may not be able to access shaders and so forth and there may be a performance hit against a real card per say.

I agree whit Indi, avoid those things and buy a cheap "real card".

Firstly the application is for a terminal whch is Just the size of a normal monitor with a smart card. Due to the size of the terminal it has a on-board graphics card. The full specification I will get next week and post if. Presently they are using Mandrake 9.1. The terminal boots off a central Linux server. The version of WINEx would be version 3.30 or the latest.

With my game I have written and using Win2000 on this board it does not start. The screen goes blank and nothing else happens.
