Halo CE Linux!

I'll try it on my Virtual Machine...

Looks like i'll have to install Ubuntu; the Nvidia drivers required a reboot of the Live CD :v:

64bit Ubuntu is very fast too.

I still need to get my Graphics Card working in Ubuntu; EnvyNG doesn't have the updated ATI driver for it yet and has forced an ugly 4:3 resolution on my 16:10 screen.

EDIT: After installing the nVidia drivers, try using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to reboot X-Server instead of the entire machine; it should blank the screen then return you to the desktop. In theory :3

I used EnvyNG as well. Wonder how it'd work on the pc with the 9800pro :-3

Wow, wine improved since I used it. Gotta find my gentoo :D

Manually installed the driver; wasn't nearly as painful as I thought it'd be. However, dual screen support on Ubuntu is, from what I can see, non-existant. The ATI drivers can extend the desktop, AFAIK, so I'll try that now.

Boot order is borked; I need to mess about in the BIOS every time I want to boot Ubuntu. Much rage.

Hmm... I'm running Kubuntu Hardy Heron and followed this tutorial. I end up with the whole machine locking up while trying to start HaloCE. I do have an ati card. Is that my issue?

Are you running the latest drivers? If not, upgrade.

If so, try downgrading, as crazy as that might sound.

I guess I'm stuck. I'm pretty nooby at Linux. I only use it to work on multilingual websites because windows sucks at handling text encodings.

I did notice after having to hard shutdown my computer and restart a few times that when halo wanted to start in safe mode, there was a little info and it seems to think I have an Nvidia card. I don't. It's an ATI. I can install the ATI drivers in WINE? hmm... Any help with that whole thing?
