xemacs: can someone help me getting rxvt to run in splashtop?
xemacs: tried to replace the skype executable but it doesnt seem to work
xemacs: :&
coucouf: peppo: i played throughout the game with catalyst 9.4 and -dxversion 81
coucouf: peppo: I set OffscreenRenderingMode to fbo in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D
peppo: coucouf, did you experience crashes when exiting, before that setting?
coucouf: I'll have a try, a few month ago when I did set this parameter, the game would crash at startup otherwise
peppo: well, this exit crash is consistent here and it feels like an fglrx bug. sort of nullifies the usefullness of wine
peppo: er, the usefullness of playing games in wine with fglrx
peppo: had to reboot entire computer after every exit of hl2
coucouf: runs fine by me with default offscreenrenderingmode
coucouf: places with water are really buggy though
peppo: well, it ran fine for me too
peppo: just the exit bug.
peppo: and seeing as how you didn't seem to experience it, I doubt "offscreenrenderingmode" would rectify that particular problem
coucouf: peppo: yes I don't think it has an impact on this
