rasteri's Journal: Soundcards, winex, Ipcop

Got my soundcard to work with the via-83xx alsa drivers, and now Deus Ex runs in WineX with sound. Crashes whenever I try and cheat, but I'm not really complaining about that. Some parts actually seem to run faster (such as when viewing security cameras). Tomorrow I might try Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, although rumour has it the keyboard doesn't work under WineX.

Becoming slightly annoyed with TransGaming's business practices. The Sims doesn't work under WineX, and the only way to get the native version is to buy it bundled with Mandrake gaming edition. I don't like Mandrake at all.

Changed the distro on the server to IpCop 1.2.0. Seems slightly better designed than smoothwall was, and the interface is nicer. Still, I think the Dial, Hangup and Shutdown buttons should all be on the same page. I think I'll redesign the interface either tomorrow afternoon or (if I don't sleep) tonight.
