I think SDL 2 (AKA 1.3) is supposed to be a much better, cleaner implementation, with a LOT of additions.
-
I don't know why but SDL never made me fly. It's a good idea but somehow the execution is a bit... lacking :/

'EWMH fullscreen hint instead of an redirect-override window [...] the way SDL does it is that it ignores the window manager'
Of course, this is all useless if the game doesn't support it and you're locked in for the entire session... hence why I've been playin s2 only recently. This basic feature is kind of very useful.

Originally posted by Thetargos View PostI may be wrong, but I do believe that task-switching is not supported by SDL, or requires to be implemented by the programmers or something to that effect.) Now, having said this, not all versions of the SDL supported this and many games do an LD_PRELOAD of their chosen .so's (NWN being one of the culprits there...
) so it could be a mix of plain flat NOT supporting it and not doing the right things with the support that IS there.
Maybe Savage does not use SDL in any way and relies on good-old GLX which I do believe DOES support task-switching (the key combination is changed, IIRC), but you are absolutely right in that not many games support task-switching.

Forsaken (Only found this the other week that its Ported/working on linux)
Theres a few I didn't realize had ports from this topic
X2 demo Had a look on egosoft.com seems very good game but the demo just seg faults
X3 looks v nice also when its done.(you may have a another fan if I can get it to work...)
From what I've seen It reminds me of X-com/freespace2. both I liked
C&C Generals Has a installer but I believe it requires wine.No Multiplayer though

- Jagged Alliance 2
- Doom 3
- ScummVM
- Neverwinter Nights
- Wine
- Smaller games like SuperTux for distraction
- Celestia ? not a game, but great fun nonetheless!
I used to play the native Linux port of Jagged Alliance 2 quite a lot, until it stopped working due to closed source bit-rot. So, if truth be told, I resorted to dual-booting and sometimes Wine to play the current v1.13 mod of the game.

It seemed like a real watered down version of Splinter Cell. Lord knows I've been through multitudes of mediocre stealth action games. From what I saw, I was not going to try to work through all the kernel panics and game freezing to play it.
