Title: AH Linux update
Post by: Conway on July 12, 2002, 02:07:40 PM

Hi all,

Some news about AH on Linux :
the new 1.10patch1 version does work under WineX. There is an issue on my machine with it crashing on quit, which is annoying but does not affect gameplay.

My joystick patches to enable AH and to add POV hat support to WineX have been accepted into WineX yesterday, and you don't need anything special to enable joystick support anymore.

For full install instructions, updates, etc. check out my AH Linux site :

How's the framerate compared to Windows?

Nice work. Gotta spread the word :)

btw what kind of hardware are you using and how many FPS are you getting?

My HW is :
900Mhz AMD Thunderbird
384MB RAM
ATI Radeon 7200

Unfortunately the fps under linux is pretty slow -- 10-15fps, while I'm getting 20-30 under windows. The problem is that ATI does not make linux drivers for this card.
If you have an NVidia card, you should see fps comparable to windows, or higher under linux.

Would be nice to hear what people with nvidia cards get...
