Works perfectly on my SUSE 10.0 install. I have several games
installed and working fine as well.

Top tip is one alredy mentioned... the forums. Each game has it's own
little set of tweaks and adjustments from the default. Games will nto
always work "out of the box" in Cedega. Sometimes it's something
small like changing from Win95 to Win98 or WinXP in the emulation..
other times you need to tinker a little in a game config file. Noting
hard, but still... requires a little effort beyond just installing.

Also... some games work better in older vesions of Cedega. You can
install pretty much any Cedgea version using the Point2Play interface.
The forums/wiki will let you know which version works best for the
game... then in the game setup, you just tell it to use a specific
version instead of the deafult (which is usually the latest).

There's probably your first problem. ATI and Cedega do work, but not
very well. In the Cedega 5.0 release notes Transgaming even state
that ATI is unsupported for many games - Battlefield2 is one they
state it will nto work at all with ATI video (although some people
have managed to get it working).

Regarding Colin McRae - I'm assuming you're trying to install the
Rally 2005? Well according to the Wiki... it doesn't work at all.
The main problem being the CD Copy Protection system (Starforce) is
completely unsupported in Cedega.

Same hear. I've been a subscriber for several years. At first,
gettign WineX (ld name) even workign was a battle... let alone any
game. Now though, it's pretty easy. Install the ROM, let it update
the Wine version, install the fonts and other bits... and you're off
and running (mostly)
