Gamers for Linux petition

[vivman1107]

I came across this petition and encourage all gamers and Linux users to sign it. Maybe with enough support we can change the minds of game developers to include native Linux support for games. Even if you are not a gamer, keep in mind that support for commercial games in Linux is a big barrier for adoption by many users. Your support is also welcome.

I'll sign these things but it feels kinda depressing, like when you press the submit button it just goes into the ether. oh well.

if you get the latest madriva it comes with windows games support via Cedega
i downloading this just to try it out but bittorrent sticking!

and so i know i eh crazy allyuhknow bout slackware right?
you not going to believe the IT admin just ask me what is that!

[vivman1107]

Mandriva add some mirrors yesterday, I think. I downloading it right now at home but I not sure the free version have Cedega. I think the version you have to pay for has Cedega, but when it done I go see.

[Nephilim]

nah it don't (you downloading the one cd thing Live/Install CD) i try it. and i like it, but i feeling hard to pay for mandriva when i have a windows machine to run game and fedora or suse eh that hard to find and drivers for them are a plentiful the only reason i wanted mandrive is cuz intel have good support for it i (i have an intel board, modem, chip so it woulda take some stress off, cuz intel have a free CD of crap for this)

[vivman1107]

Actually, I already finished downloading the Live CD (One). Now I am downloading the 3 CD Free set. I will see if that one has Cedega, although I don't think it will.

Now that ATI has released full drivers for opensource, and asus has full mobo drivers for all their boards, lots of companies are taking linux seriously, the demand is increasing!


Games are next! I mean if Wolfenstein enemy teratory plays fine on linux, so can many more!

[TinyGrasshopper]

Now that ATI has released full drivers for opensource...

Wait, what? When did this happen?

[disciple]

[Prowl]

It's on the bloody ATI site, I don't mean they released the opensource of the drivers, I mean they released drivers for opensource linux like suse, freebsd, etc etc. sees my 1900gt as a super firegl lol, quake 4 for linux to!

[disciple]

well that's different from your statement, homey...

how you phrased it, it sounded as if you were sayin that they open sourced the drivers.. lol
