With my Radeon Mobility 7500 I cannot get eve to work with Cedega.. I get the black screen hang.
With wine it works fine. However, I first had to copy the ms core fonts to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts to fix the black screen problem.
If you are getting the black login screen with wine MAKE SURE you copy the Microsoft core fonts to the directory above. This fixed the issue for me. The ms core fonts should be provided by your distro. In ubuntu the package name is 'msttcorefonts'.
Also, the registry entry for the fonts directory was 'Fonts' but the folder name was 'fonts'. It's case sensitive I think so I just renamed the folder to 'Fonts'. A symlink should work too. ln -s Fonts/ fonts/.
Eve was working great for a while but now it crashes everytime I try to undock  . I turned on debugging in wine and the last message it gives is:
warn:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImpl_GetDeviceCaps (0x17a3c8) : stub, calling idirect3d for now
Anyone have any ideas? Like I said, it was working great for a while now it crashes EVERYTIME I try to undock. I'm thinking it could just be my laptop overheating because it gets super super hot (I'm gonna get a new aluminum cooling pad for it with 3 fans - I don't think the cheap plastic one I have now is cutting it.) But if you have any other ideas that would be awesome.
CCP - please please please release a damn linux client!!!!!!!!! Can't you see how many people want one??? I'd even pay an extra $5 a month to cover the development costs. |

Radeon mobility 7500 working with wine... kinda.. stuff..
Ohh and by the way, this is with the open source ati drivers not the ones provided by ATI. ATI doesn't support my Radeon mobility 7500 with theirs. I guess it is too old. *curses ATI*
And I didn't change anything since it started crashing. Before it would crash after like a half hour or more (yes it always has crashed but atleast I could undock and play for a while) - now it won't let me undock at all.
Finally, it runs pretty darned good at 16bit on my old 32mb video card. 24bit ran okay too but 16 is much faster. (Pentium M 1.4ghz, 1gig ram).
*pokes CCP to work on that linux client*

When you say "crash", do you mean a reboot or just back to desktop?
If it's a reboot then it's your hardware/bios, otherwise it's more likely a compatibility problem. One experiment is to try same installation on another PC also with ATI graphics.
It crashes back to desktop. No hardware errors in any log files and such. I wish I did have another computer with ATI graphics in it but I don't. Especially not with the exact same card (Radeon Mobility 7500). Everything else is Nvidia. I just wish I could get it to work stable on this laptop that way I can log my alt into the laptop and my main on my desktop.  And dual booting is not an option. Too bad eve doesn't run in vmware - that would rock.
Ohh well, I think I'm gonna write it off to the open source drivers not being as good as the ATI supplied ones for now. When I get a better cooling pad I'll try again and see if that makes any difference because the funny thing now (after posting those comments) is that it sometimes lets me undock fine, sometimes it crashes to desktop, and sometimes it will crash on me after being in space for a little while. It never crashes when in station. Since it is random (I can't reproduce the crash doing one specific thing - undocking is the closest to reproducible but that doesn't always crash it and it also crashes in space doing random things) and I can almost burn my hand on the bottom of the laptop I hope it is a heat problem. I guess time will tell.

what wine version are you using? wine-0.9.30+patch, wine-0.9.31 or git source?
as the git source has at least one crash issue (ctd when you open the map)
The latest, 0.9.31. It is from their ubuntu repository. Think it might make any difference if I tried to compile it on my own?

argh not seen... damm... i have installed newest driver from ATI hp :-/
You need to tell xorg to use the new drivers you installed. Just installing the binary ATI drivers doesn't always do the trick. In xorg.conf under the Device section, what is driver set to? With the ATI provided binary drivers I believe it has to be 'fglrx' (if you are still using the open source drivers it will say ati or radeon probably) or something along those lines - search for the actual driver name I am not 100% what it is called although I know it is close to or maybe even what I said above.
I would suggest you RTFM if this doesn't work because the problem with direct rendering not being enabled is not an eve or even wine specific issue - it is a problem with your configuration. When you fix it you will know because that line you pasted will say yes for direct rendering (glxinfo).
I can't provide much more insight because as I said in one of my other posts, I have a Radeon Mobility 7500 which is not supported by the ATI provided binary drivers so I am using the open source ones.
Either way, there are some good guides out there on the interweb on how to get direct rendering enabled. I would definitely suggest you read one or maybe even several of them - it is absolutely a configuration issue - your hardware supports direct rendering - especially with the ATI provided drivers (hell I am using it on my 7500 with the open source drivers  ).
