    I got starcraft workin in Cedega but it runs a bit choppy. I'm pretty sure the fglrx module was loaded when I installed mandriva so that shouldn't be the problem unless there needs to be some manual editing? I don't know, any advice to get this runnin smoothly?

    Never run Cedega so I can't tell you if the lack of performance is down to that.

    Anyway, run the command:

    Code:
    glxinfo
    and post the results here. That will tell us whether you have DRI and the the GLX extensions

    It's not totally unplayable its just that if I had to guess the FPS hovers around 20, and the odd time it will hang for a sec then keep goin.

    I'd check for any updates and Cedega release notes to see if there's any more info about it.

    StarCraft - Unofficial TransGaming Wiki

    I haven't played Starcraft in a long while, but as a general rule 16-bit games run poorly in Cedega. You might also try the game in a sudo-DOS environment, like DOSbox or dos-emu.

    I've tried running glxgears as normal user and then as root and it still hangs for a sec so it's just not cedega thats causing it.

    *edit* Is there a command to update the ati graphics modules?

    Tried doing that and I failed one dependancy:
    3. do "rpm -ivh --force fglrx*.rpm"
    [root@localhost landon]# rpm -ivh --force fglrx.rpm
    error: Failed dependencies:
    libexpat.so.1 is needed by fglrx_6_8_0-8.29.6-1.i386
