Not withstanding the other good comments in this thread, I'd like to 
point out that this isn't the only respect in which older proprietry 
applications will break. To run quake3 (for example) on a recent Linux 
distro you need to start doing things like

echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/legacy_va_layout

Trying to get teamspeak to run along side is even more painful. (Though 
it's doable - but more effort than finding out you need gdk IMO.)

To be fair, I don't know how the widespread the issues with quake3 are 
amoungst other Loki games - but I would not be suprised by more issues 
arising. Without the source or keeping MS-like backwards compatability - 
what are we going to do?

Let's not even start talking about Oracle installations (though they're 
improving). ;)

Personally I no longer bother and just keep a Windows installation for 
running my propriety games.

Cheers
