Cedega in FC4

Configuring Cedega FedoraCore

If you want to run windows games, applications on linux box.. cedega/wineX are the way to do it. This tutorial will show the steps required to make cedega run on Fedora without any errors.

Steps to get Cedega working:

DISCLAIMER: Use these steps at your own risk. You break it, you own both halves.

These steps are what worked for me, your mileage may vary. Do not execute these

steps unless you are SURE you understand WHAT they mean and WHY you are doing it.

Backup your configuration files first and have a mediachecked rescue CD handy if

you choose to attempt this.

1. Disable Prelinking after reboot

# vi /etc/sysconfig/prelink

PRELINKING=no

PRELINKING=-no-exec-shield

2. Unlink all prelinked files on running system

# /usr/sbin/prelink -ua

3. Disable Exec-Shield after reboot:

# vi /etc/sysctl.conf

kernel.exec-shield = 0

kernel.exec-shield-randomize= 0

vm.legacy_va_layout = 1

4. Disable Exec-Shield in running kernel

# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield

# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield-randomize

# echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/legacy_va_layout

Note: The above works for me in FC4, it should work most of the time
