SEV for Linux?

But they will not be used, DirectX will be.

i did what parabolize did as well. So Far I have played the game on 6 different linux flavours.. gentoo , caldera, mandrake , redhat, suse, debain.

And different Versions of each over the years.

Some times it was very easy to get up and running some times I ran away screaming.

I found it ran really well under the mandrake flavour for some reason.

Now to get it to run on aix

Native Linux, yes. But WinEx has been refined to the point where most games designed only for Windows will run on it already. All MM has to do it take a little care in the development stage to test on WinEx and make some small changes where necessary and it will be at least possible to run it on Linux.

If you can get it running on aix, i will demand a research alliance

I emailed AH about the possibilities of porting se4 to linux, and he didn't seem too interested, and the libraries he used are only early alpha on linux, it wouldn't run very well, se4 runs perfectly under wine, haven't gotten around to starfury, anyone know which Version of directx it is based on? WineX still has serious(read: it doesn't work) problems with dx9, pixel shaders are the main culprit, but Versions before work perfectly, it depends on what AH writes it with, hell, I'd be willing to port it for free if he'd let me

You're having the bitmap problem with the ships not showing? Which Version of wine with which distro are you using?
