You wouldn't be interested in writing down some/most of what you had to do to make it work, would you?

Also, is there a higher-res version of your background on the web anywhere?

If you login to flickr, you can see the full res versions - 3200x1200. I'll post instructions later today - it was fairly simple. For the most part, following the linux instructions works.

I play WoW on linux, I'm wondering with your dual head / very wide screen, are you able to switch between while you are playing? It would be cool to have thottbot in one window :)

Yeah. Your cursor isn't restricted to one window - you can move it to the other display without a problem. I'm currently using KDE, and i'm having some issues with key bindings - some things trigger kde events. I think I should be able to disable that for the wine window. I haven't looked into it too much yet.

What kind of FPS are you getting? I've got a P4 running at 3GHz, 2GB of ram, and a GeForce 7600 GT (256MB on board) and I get ~20 fps with everything but terrain distance turned up.

Do you experience any performance issues at all?
