I've been fooling with this all afternoon, used to use Cedega, but really have no need for it other than to play EQ, and Cedega really doesn't support Everquest anymore - it just so happens they did at one time, so it still 'half-assed' works ( I never could get all the pixel shader-versions to work, and it was slow and choppy).
With Wine, I got all the way to the point where I get in the game but have no characters or NPCs.
this link helped a lot too.
I think my problem is the Eq Client does not see my Video card properly , as it as listed as 'Hal', which must be a 'filler' when nothing else is found.
