Last weekend I decided to say goodbye to Windows (at least at home), and give a try to Xubuntu 7.04 (very lightweight Linux distribution).

How surprised I was when I got to see KOH running smoothly on Wine, if not for an important detail: the in-game mouse icon wouldn't show (which would render the game unplayable).

BUT I got to find a workaround (changes KOH icon for X11 icon) on Wine's bugzilla site and recompiled Wine 0.9.37 with it. Mouse now works in KOH. And everything else is perfect!

That's right folks, KOH can be played on Linux, though I am not sure about online gaming, someone would need to test it.

Thanks for keeping is updated on that. :go:
You were using version 1.05 of the game, weren't you?

Yes, patch 1.05. Aside from the mouse icon issue, everything is perfect. If someone requests, I can make a brief tutorial on how to do it.

Frame rate seems to be about the same of running on Windows.
