Hello one and all,
I have a few questions regarding people's experiences of getting both System Shock 1 & 2 running under linux.
First question: should I use dosbox or dosemu for SS1?
Second question: has anyone had any luck getting the latest wine to work with intel graphics drivers?
I am getting a number of errors as a result of using Wine 1.1.29 and Xorg 1.6.4+video-intel-2.7.2 to run SS2.
one such error is a page fault regarding the intel cards framebuffer.
If someone knows of a patch to get it working that would be appreciated.
I have heard of the OPDE project but looking at the code and compiling it brings up a number of errors from OGRE probably because I have the latest version(1.6.3) and my intel drivers are causing some fault somewhere.

I can happily report that DOSEMU runs System Shock 1 very well under the 4 machines I tested.
the only issue is my lack of a real sound card.

As in drivers under linux, or do you mean that physically?
