I successfully installed point2play using the point2play-1.3-2.tar. I had no trouble with the setup, or with grabbing the latest version of cedega (cedega 4.0-1 the new winex) throught the p2p interface. I also had no trouble installing the steam+cs engine using the SteamInstall_CS.exe file. Running steam through cedega works great. All the steam options / windows work perfectly. However when I click on a server to connect... everything seems to go well... I get the "preparing to play Counter-strike" popup box... it lasts for about 3 seconds, and then dissapears... I'm expecting to see counter-strike start... but nothing happens... nothing at all. The same is true for TFC or any mod. As well I wasn't able to install Dungeon Siege. I tried installing Half-life from CDROM (just for fun)... it goes through the sound test, the file install, but then when you go to skip the registration process (register later button), it hangs on the HL install splash screen... if my memory serves me right, I should be taken to the video configuration of the setup. This is starting to make me think it may have something to do with my video... but I'm not sure??
So in short, I can't get any games to run using point2play and cedega. Has anyone successfully gotten games to run via p2p+cedega on the 2.6 kernel of FC2?
I'm also using an ati radeon mobility m9 graphics card (which I have setup correctly using ATI's latest proprietary driver glfx-4.3.0-3.9.0).
I'm using the 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 kernel.
I also have no problem running native-linux games such as UT2004 and UFO.
Any help would be appreciated...

Do you have iptables running or have a firewall in front of your broadband connection? From the description it sounds like it attempts to make a connection but then fails. Most likely a firewall issue.

I have a broadband connection behind a firewall... however all outgoing ports are open... and I have no trouble connecting to steam with my credentials... getting updates/downloads for steam and mods... as well as querying servers, etc...
As well it's not just online games I'm having trouble with...

I have to say I have not used the packages you have mentioned. However it sounds like you need to open certain ports on your firewall to let connections get to your machine. Many games require ports to be forwarded through a firewall. Outgoing connections are generally allowed but connections that originate outside your firewall will be blocked unless you use port forwarding to let them in.
You will need to find out what ports your game or application needs.
You mention you are having problems with something other than games but provide no details. That makes it hard to help.
Fedora Core 1 and 2 turns on prelinking by default. If you haven't already turn off prelinking by doing the following:
In /etc/sysconfig/prelink
Change the line
PRELINKING=yes to PRELINKING=no
for the line that says: PRELINK_OPTS=-mR
change to: PRELINK_OPTS=-mR-no-exec-shield
run in root "/usr/sbin/prelink -ua" after you save the changes. It took a while before it finaly did something for me, go watch a program for little and come back.
Now WineX/Cedega works

Thanks Bjorn... I actually found a posting that said the same thing. I made the changes and ran "prelink -ua"... which did run but there were a few errors... is that to be expected? And how long before it kicks in... shouldn't a reboot fix the wait time?
Have you had success running CS over the steam interface via p2p?

I think it's a problem with my display settings. Since the prelink changes, I've tried running the following:
Half-life uplink demo... installs fine... doesn't launch. Tribes (full game)... installs fine... I hear the sound test and all the files are installed... then it freezes. Launch a cs, tfc, hl game off of steam... all of them look like they're about to load because I get the "preparing to play counter-strike...", then it dissapears and nothing.
Are you using an nvidia card, or an ati card?
I ran half-life uplink demo in debug mode and there's a tonne of the following entries (and of course it never launches): << 0002:trace:x11drv:X11DRV_GLX_DestroyTarget (0x5538d4f4) 0002:trace:x11drv:X11DRV_GLX_DestroyTarget (0x553908f4) 0002:trace:x11drv:X11DRV_GLX_DestroyTarget (0x5538d528) 0002:trace:x11drv:X11DRV_GLX_DestroyTarget (0x55390928) 0002:trace:x11drv:X11DRV_GLX_DestroyTarget (0x5538d55c) 0002:trace:x11drv:X11DRV_GLX_DestroyTarget (0x5539095c) 0002:trace:x11drv:X11DRV_GLX_DestroyTarget (0x5538d590) 0002:trace:x11drv:X11DRV_GLX_DestroyTarget (0x55390990) 0002:trace:x11drv:X11DRV_GLX_DestroyTarget (0x5538d5c4) 0002:trace:x11drv:X11DRV_GLX_DestroyTarget (0x553909c4) 0002:trace:x11drv:X11DRV_GLX_DestroyTarget (0x5538d5f8)
I use Nvidia FX 5700 Ultra.
The Steam takes a long time to download, but it run at last. Call Of Duty run out of the box, and i even cold update it with patches.

I've read further postings of people who have ATI video cards have similar problems with games not starting. :/ So it must be that.
Thanks for your help Bjorn.
