Running EQ under LINUX

[tristantio]

Hello,

On Ubuntu 10.10 64bit I was able to download wine-1.3.7 source, apply the latest xi2 patch (posted earlier in thread), compile, install and play - without any special directX modifications by simply opening the eqclient.ini file created during game install and setting all TRUE values to FALSE (before you load EQ this file only contains pixel shader options).

Started up EQ and it runs flawlessly in windowed or full screen.

To apply the xi2 patch to wine-1.3.7 source I had to use -F (fuzzy) option or I would receive hunk rejected errors.

The commands I used to apply patch and compile source were:

cd ~/wine-1.3.7/
patch -p0 -F5 --ignore-whitespace < xi2.patch
./configure
make depend && make
sudo make install

Much easier than modifying directX files (although I guess it is needed if you want the pixel shaders enabled)
