Tweaks for running Steam

Hi,

I'm got a new computer and I'm installing again Steam from scratch the wiki seems quite unssuficient to run Steam under wine.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam

First, I had to run winetricks to solve few problems and it is not obvious for people which are not wine specialists!

TWEAKS:

winetricks msxml4
winetricks allfonts

I'm also having another problem with my nvidia video card which is a intel HD graphics 3000. As I'm reading this:
http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=64998

I think, I'm out of luck with this card and could not run 3D game on archlinux with it, I'm right?

If you think those steps are needed to run Steam on Wine, please add them to the wiki so future people will know.

Yes, please fix the wiki if something is missing or obviously wrong. For wine matters though you could also have a look on winehq. I don't think installing allfonts is required, but at least tahoma and maybe corefonts, yes.

I installed Steam and Portal when it was given for free not long ago and the game worked quite well on my intel Core i3 550 (in directx 8 mode).

Edit: Wait, what?
