me have been using slax for some time and hv been trying to run games using wine ... but the problem is installation of my gfx card .... its nvidia .... i dwnldded the drivers from nvidia and installed them but still when i try to run the games it gives and error saying tht ur vdo card or drivers do not support dynamic textures .... could some 1 tell me how to install gfx drivers coz i think tht is where im going wrong ...

First of All wine doesnot support all win games.after all its just an emulator.check wine's App database
*appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3792&iTestingId=499
to make sure ya game is supported.
another think is get the latest wine from their svn or cvs repo,bcoz with each update bugs gets fixed;more supported win games etc
If ur serious about gaming in Linux,U can buy($$$$) Cedega-

DId u installed Nvidia's 3D drivers?
I am no expert with wine and games.but dynamic texture things are related to package mesa libs,mesa glx and mesa off-screen rendering support.also this depends on what modules u load in ur /etc/X11/xorg.conf.BTW i suppose u got DRI supported properly.

to check run "glxgears" from ur GNOME or kde run dialog(ALT+F2),if the wheels are rotating smoothly sorta have u got DRI(direct rendering infrastructure) enabled.or u can use cmd "glxinfo |grep render" in a terminal.install DRI pkg if not installed.
