I have wine installed, and it's kind of working. Is it a lost cause to even try working with HL? It installed, but when I try to configure it or open a menu, the menu is underlayed behind the main menu (instead of put on top of it), and the main menu loses focus. Is there a way around this? I've looked at howtos but haven't had any success.

Thanks!

Have you installed the latest Half-Life patch? I found that I had a similar problem even after the patch was installed, but it was still usable afterwards.

I've tried both. I tried an untouched old GOTY cd fresh install...and then created a symlink to /mnt/hdc1/SIERRA/Half-Life.............same deal either way.

edit: that mounted partition is an old fully updated copy.

Found a partial fix...not fullscreen, but add -win to the end to create half-life in window mode, and I can navigate through the windows!

I'm getting the "the selected opengl mode is not supported" error in HL. Was that binary 32bit wine for amd64 ebuild compiled with Wine support?

Thanks..

the preview release is only available to so called emerald users, so an ebuild wouldnt be feasible.
