How get the game works, playonlinux, steam, wine ?

English Games
#1

Hello,

I installed Play on Linux and Steam but the game (Trine Demo) doesn’t work. How do I know which setup is fine for Wine. Or what else?

The game I can hear but I can only see the first window of the game where i get New Game option after I hear sound. Further It ask me the memory resolution,

but on the label of my card is written 610M 2GB. Which of the two?

I had to press esc to get the screen work, anyway how do I know the memory? 1024 or 2048

I think you might want to try :

lspci -nnk

to see what your graphics card is and then ask google how much memory it has.

Grep the xorg log file it shows the memory X can detect for your card,
here is an example from my machine with 2GB nvidia


martinh@sirius:~> grep -i memory /var/log/Xorg.0.log
    16.568] (--) NVIDIA(0): Memory: 2097152 kBytes
    16.597] (II) NVIDIA: Using 3072.00 MB of virtual memory for
indirect memory
    16.661] (==) NVIDIA(0): Disabling shared memory pixmaps

Of course I have to warn that this trick to grep the xorg log does not
work for all driver/card combinations.
