Hi everyone,
Today I installed HL2 via wine and while it does run, it is unusably slow and the audio stutters a lot. On my WinXP partition however, it works more or less fine. I'm suspecting that Mint is not correctly identifying my old integrated crappy graphics card.
System Information:
Mint 13 MATE
Pentium 4 2.8GHz
1gb RAM
Relevant LSPCI output: *-pci

The UNCLAIMED display1 is what's getting me at thinking that the graphics driver might be the problem. I've been on Intel's website, and apt is telling me I have xserver-xorg-video intel all up to date. Is this a driver problem? If so, how can I fix it? If not, what else could it be?
Thanks in advance

lsmod?
glxgears?
glxinfo?

Wine and graphics drivers make windows games run much slower on every linux pc.
KDE Effects work without problems, no lags, but portal2 is unplayable on lowest settings. With Win7, it works > 60fps on mid.

the best way to "fix" it is to wait for the native port of HL2 :P
that being said, have you tried using playonlinux? there are lots of wine patches out there for making certain games work, and it collects them all (or lots, at least) in one place. it has scripts for installing HL2.
