Wine : Half Life game problem

[dejavu]

hi to all ..

i used wine to run Half life 1 and it started it and asked me for the serial number . When the correct number is entered it open an error message saying that HL requires 16-bit colors to run on .. does this means that iam runing on 8-bit desktop settngs cause i dont think so since the images at wallpapers are showing good quality ... like 32 bit
or do i need to do something with wine ?

need help
asap ... plz

Try editing ~/.wine/config and setting your windows version to win98 (there should be a line that goes like winver=win95 or something in there)

I think hl1 has a problem with a 24bit desktop, which is actually the same as a 32bit one. If you edit your XF86Config to use 16 instead of 24 you should be fine.
