BS Contact VRML/X3D on Linux

, , , ...

Wine was updated to version 0.9.49 and so i tried again running my favorite VRML/ X3D Viewer BS Contact. Guess what - right it seems to work now, just some minor limitations:
* you have to use OpenGL hardware acceleration
* Shaders didn't work
* Only VRML code is working (seems to be a limitation of Wine using the M$ XML parser)
* Antialiasing didn't work too
* There is a termination message on exit

My system is:
* Ubuntu 7.10/ Wine 0.9.49/ BS Contact VRML/X3D 7.039
* Gnome 2.20 Desktop using Compiz
* Nvidia GS 8400 with nvidia-glx-new driver 100.14.19

Thanx to the Wine team, really great work!
