help im close. I followed the instructions from the link in post 64 with only three differences that I do not think matter.
-> civ was installed in vista not xp
-> used version 1.74 of civ IV (not 1.61) and 2.13 of warlords not (2.08)
-> have the civ file on a different install path
It takes an extremely long time for either of the three to open. Like in the range of 5 to 10 minutes.
Once in a can navigate the menus but before i start a game the colors get distorted and I am logged off of ubuntu.
Is the terminal output saved anywhere so that I can see what happened?
any other ideas?
This is a thinkpad x61 with intel x3100 graphics running 64 but gutsy and wine 0.9.47 -> let me know if anything else is helpful
thanks
Update: 5 to ten minutes may have been an underestimate its now been 21 minutes and BTS has still not gone into full screen. The computer is not showing any cpu load during this time its even in C3 sleep state according to powertop.
Here is my terminal output of the currently attempting to start BTS in case anyone is interested.
