bookwyrmLast night, I was finally able to successfully play Half-Life 2 in Wine, using my Logitech Dual Action gamepad. I am very, very proud of this fact, as it took about a week of researching and filtering information to get it to work properly. I will document it as soon as possible to help other people as well. I might even put it on my website! The process is now very obvious, after the fact, but there's so much crap out there that I went through all sorts of wrong turns.
Steam under linux is pretty awesome. I cannot wait for the native client.
Also, now running debian testing. I didn't even notice that Lenny had gone to stable till a couple weeks ago. Some annoyance with the dist upgrade since udev breaks, so you have to upgrade the kernel from 2.6.26 to 2.6.32 first, reboot, then do the rest. (If you don't and get stuck in the broken state, apt-get -f install the kernel image, kernel common, udev and libudev at the same time. This worked, if I recall correctly.)
Major differences between lenny and squeeze, but that's always the way.
