I'm excited to learn there is an ebuild for it and that some have |
| 11 |
success in getting it to run under gentoo-amd64. I'm going to try it |
| 12 |
out later this week. I've been booting into Windows for little NWN |
| 13 |
breaks from the Perl scripting grind, it'll be nice to be able to stay |
| 14 |
in Linux. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Obviously, I purchased the Windows version, I consider it $40 well |
| 17 |
spent. I do regret the Bioware/Atari/WoC/whoever/etc requires you to |
| 18 |
purchase/have a Windows installation in order to run it from Linux. I |
| 19 |
am glad however, that they kept to their word and did release (the |
| 20 |
original game) for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. That alone led me to |
| 21 |
purchase the game and register on their site as a Linux user. I suspect |
| 22 |
that NWN2 (in development by a different outfit) will not be |
| 23 |
multi-platform, but alas, such is the state of the gaming market. |
| 24 |

Those of you running NWN on gentoo-amd64: I've got an eMachines M6809 |
| 26 |
that I run NWN on (Windows). I suspect I'll have to get the ATI drivers |
| 27 |
working in Linux in order to have any hope of getting the game to run |
| 28 |
smoothly, yes? How painful is it to get the ATI drivers installed and |
| 29 |
working on the eMachines M68xx series of laptops? |
