by running the BF1942 demo.  I got BF to run a couple of times but on=20
the third run it crashed and I was not able to get it running again,=20
even by deleteing and reinstalling WineX3 and BF1942 (and the hidden=20
config files).   I am running an GeForce2 MX400 video card which=20
glxgears gives a 600-650 fps rating to.=20

My NVIDIA card runs Tux Racer, FlightGear, Cannon Smash and and VERY=20
NEAT auto racing game called TORCS.   All the other accelerated video=20
games on my MDK 9.1 distro run beautifully.   I also have installed=20
