Some time ago, I picked up a Cedega licence. Don’t remember why, but I did. Today, at $dayjob, I decided to try the latest Cedega client and EVE Online. My boss knows I only want to manage my skill training at lunch, so he’s happy with that aspect at least.

So, install Cedega via the .deb package for Debian and Ubuntu. Download the latest update, apply it. Pull EVE across from our network drive, run the installer. So far, so good. Notice that the Cedega install complained that 3D acceleration wasn’t working right.

Download latest ATI drivers (x600 card), run the installer, clobber my existing xorg.conf (8.16 -> 8.24). Reload X. Notice mouse doesn’t work properly, fix mouse entry (buttons).

Run EVE.

It works. Sorta. Crashes trying to load the station. Restart, remember reading a tweak note that says reset the resolution at the character selection screen. Do so. Log in to station. Change skill training. Dance!
