On my last install I followed the directions here, except in the cfg file I erased everything and only added: SET gxApi "opengl" It set all of the other values which I adjusted once in the game. might work. Unfortunately I have never installed mint on any of my computers. Good luck. Notmywoman,

It's so laggy I've spent the last 45 minutes trying to coax the slider to the bottom of the EULA to get the 'Accept' button to light up. Can't do it. And even if I did, there's another agreement after it. Can I just make a file called config.wtf and paste someone else's stuff into it? That can't be much different...right? How hard is it for Blizzard to make a damn linux version... OMG.

We need to setup the config.wtf file inside your WoW folder if we do not have one, and we have to log in, does that mean our account has to be activated, and registered? And also, after I install this and it is working, if I wana install Burning Crusade and WOTLK do I have to do anything? Hey for step 5.
