A Wine Question--specifically, Mor

[LadyDoor]

Hi! Does anybody know how to get Morrowind up and running with Wine (and/or the Construction Set)? I've installed it with the Loki thing and tried to fix some stuff, but when I try to start it, wine gives me the error "Render Creation Error: 'Unknown Stencil Mode Format'" and then closes. It's like the only videogame I want to install on my computer (I'm usually not into them, but for some reason this one's an exception...). If anybody knows how to resolve this, I've still got some kudos leftover from when I was trying to find out why my Lexar Jumpdrive didn't work and which I'm willing to share.

I don't know about Morrowind, but I've had fairly limited success running games with the wine packages, and I haven't cared enough to go for the commercial wine dirivatives.

The wine project just released version 0.9.9 last week, but I haven't tried it yet.

Can you tell us more about what you tried?

What I've tries...well, originally I gave up after failing to install it. I then tried the Loki installer, with success. I can run the Construction Set, but can't save anything with it. And when I try to actually open the game, I get a very long string of the same error:

err:d3d:IWineD3DImpl_IsGLXFBConfigCompatibleWithRe nderFmt unsupported format WINED3DFMT_X4R4G4B4

and then a dialogue box pops up informing me that there's a

Render Creation Error: "Unknown stencil mode format."

And then Wine shuts itself down. Does anybody know how do decipher the arcane mess of code into a viable solution for how to get it working? If so, many thanks.

Or "What I've tried," even...
