Portal thru Wine won't load properly

[matchu]

Yo,

Installed Portal today. When run, the loading screen appears, then disappears, reporting the following error:

Mesa 7.1 implementation error: i915_program_error: Exceeded max nr indirect texture lookups

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Thought:

You're trying to play it on a laptop with an Intel GMA 900 graphics solution, yes? Intel doesn't even list Portal on its "Games Compatibility List" for the GMA 900 series in Windows (it lists Half-life 2 with a note that players "may experience low frame rates").

Essentially, you're probably doomed - your graphics solution isn't beefy enough to cope with Portal. (I don't even know why Intel bother sticking GMA 900s into computers nowadays - the 950 is much better and can't cost them that much more to make.)

Hm. Rather know I can't do anything about it than keep working on it =D Thanks!
