I've got a fairly outdated system that I've never had great cause to update, 
but now my family would like it if I could play games like Diablo II with 
them. I've had less than fantastic luck with Winex, but I don't know per se 
whether that's because of my Mandrake being so old compared to the newest 
Cedega, or basic user errors, or what. Other people seem to have little to no 
trouble running the program.

It's given me a variety of errors: started out with page faults/general 
exceptions, then locked the entire display (no Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, even) in 
full-screen mode once I did get it running. Pushed it to windowed 800x600 on 
a 1024x768 screen, it ran the install just fine (barring some FreeType 
errors), but then tried to load the v1.10 patch into my home directory 
instead of the .transgaming/c_drive folder with the rest of it, and 
subsequently couldn't find it. My video card is a GeForce2 MX, but Diablo 
isn't that power-intensive; it's just running into other errors separate from 
pure display issues.

Processor: AMD Duron 900 MHz
Memory: 256MB
Video Card: nVidia geForce DDR (generic)
X-Server: XFree86 4.2.0, patch level 9mdk
OS release: 2.4.18-6mdk (Mandrake Linux release 8.2)

Anyone have any ideas? I'm willing to upgrade this machine to 10.1 OE if it 
seems like it'll help, although at this point I may just try to get them to 
convert to NWN....

Thanks in advance,
David
