1 Hi,
2
3 I got old nice game Railroad Tycoon 2 and after installing made entry in
4 Kmenu with this command:
5 linux32 /usr/local/games/RT2/rt2
6 As you see its installed in /usr/local/games bypassing portage. Seems
7 everything works fine, sound and graphics, however, is it right way to launch
8 32 binary on x86_64? I'm asking this because looks like amaroK's OSD popup
9 locks graphics in game, no way to exit it cleanly, root -> kill pid doesnt
10 work, just fuser -k did the trick but for my understanding this isnt good way
11 to stop programs running.
12 Now i'll dig other 32 binaries' ebuilds to see what happens there.
13 Any tips welcome.
