Yep... Back to some crap with WineX! Does anyone know how to change the number of colors? I am trying to run Half-Life and it is telling me Half-Life requires 16 Bit color to run, Please change your desktop to HiColor, Sometimes called "32767colors" or "65535 colors"

Ya... So how would i change my wine config to make it think the desktop is in HiColor?

[mahdi@SeitchTabr mahdi]$ more /etc/X11/XF86Config|grep DefaultDepth
DefaultDepth 24

If this is what you get, you can try starting Half-Life with the color depth switch (which I can't remember or find right now...oops, search under normal half-life (non-Linux) and the switch is -32bpp for 32bit (or 24 in Linux) and -16bpp for 16bit color)

wine hl.exe --hl.exe -16bpp -console

also take a look through http://lhl.linuxgames.com/howto/half-life-HOWTO-0.5.html for many helpful tips with HL and Linux (Wine)

ty, forgot to post i got it figured out by doing this -

wine hl.exe --winver winxp -- -console

adding the --winver winxp -- -consoole worked for me =P i used the search function for once!!!
