[SOLVED] 'AGP is deactivated' - Wine, Gaming on Arch

Hello,

First off I would like to mention that I understand this may not be the proper forums to mention this, as it could just be wine related and should go to the wine forums, but then again everyone here has been so helpful and knowledge-full that I believe this issue might get resolved here as well.

I am trying to run Lineage2 under wine on Arch (x86_64), but when I launch the game I get the error:
"The game may not be consistant because AGP is deactivated. Please activate AGP for consistancy."

I have installed d3dx9 & d3dx10 using winetricks, I do have proper VGA drivers, and I am running on the following:
Linux 3.3.8-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 GNU/Linux
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920  @ 2.67GHz
NVIDIA Corporation GF106 [GeForce GTS 450]

Let me know if you require any additional information.

Thanks in advance

Try updating your system. The kernel from the [core] repo (the linux package) is at 3.4.4-2.

Thanks for the fast reply. I just did a pacman -Syu yesterday, so I don't think much would change. However, after a reboot I noticed that whilst the message still appeared, the graphics weren't slow as they were before, so now it's just a message with no effect.

Perhaps this should be closed as the issue itself has been resolved, however I still do not understand the nature of the message.

You should reboot from time to time, and especially after each kernel update.

According to the ARM (core) repo, "linux 3.3.8-1" was released on June 6th (3 weeks ago).

Your system has been running ever since.

Yeah thanks for the tip :-) (For all bragging purposes, it's been running longer than that :-P)

Now that I rebooted, it prints:
Linux 3.4.4-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 GNU/Linux
