But with the stock <strong>NVIDIA GeForce 6600 LE</strong> I am able to play <em>Doom 3</em> (one of my favourite Ego-Shooters of all time) on low settings or <em>Quake III Arena</em> pretty good and pretty fast.</p> <hr> <p>And I was curious if I can install <!-- raw HTML omitted -->dhewm3<!-- raw HTML omitted --> on PowerPC Linux to play Doom 3 with this modern implementation for the old game. But with the one from the package manager, there were no luck. It had a problem with the menue, I think with the Fond and this is a known problem with other than x86 builds. It soon after start crashed. So I deviced to built in from scratch and that worked. After some tweaks I am able to start Doom3, but it doesn&rsquo;t work as expected. The graphic is completely broken and I think it has something to do with Mesa and 3D and Drivers and so on.</p>
