Hi - this is something I have a fair bit of experience on. I have deliberately looked around for a linux distro that runs Ren in either wine, cxoffice or Cedega (to the uninitiated wine is the freebee by the linux peeps, cxoffice is the commercial arm with feedback to wine and cedega is a Canadian outfit who use wine to support gaming commercially on linux of what ever flovour)
I have tried - Suse 10.1, Mandriva, RedHat Fedora 6, Ubuntu, Damn Small Linux and a few others..............
Eventually I got it to work more or less out of the box on Cedega using Fedora Core 6 with the Gnome desktop.
You do need a failry pokey pc to do this though - mine is an SLI (does not work in Linux as SLI) GT7800 512Mb AMD 64 4400 with two Gig of RAM. At 1280X1024 with the sparkly bits turned on it manages a 60fps on a good day. The same system under WinXP pro turns in over 300fps using the DX9.0C fix. Also you get gliches all the time - the sparkly bits are not so good for many reasons, sound is patchy at best, many sliding style instances of lag occur at the machine end - all in all not a satisfactory playing experience. I have not overally bothered the support departments of the various api peeps - the game is so old it would be hard to justify thier time too much IMHO - which does not meant don't - I just have never bothered.
So guess who is about to partition his hard drives to allow Bill Gates back on his system so he can play Renegade as it was meant to be played?
yep - moi
Good luck with it - if you think I can help pm me on hotmail or AIM - dikfar on AIM and neillizatbath@hotmail.com
