freedink freedink-engine freedink-dfarc freedink-data - OpenSUSE: included in Games
repository (enable it in Control Center > Community Repositories
> openSUSE BuildService - Games, then install package
freedink; you can also search it) - thanks to Stefan Dirsch - EeePC: if you run Debian, cf. hereinbefore plus
type this in a terminal to avoid the ugly screen stretching:
xrandr --output LVDS --set PANEL_FITTING full_aspect
(you can also trycenter). If there's demand to make packages for the stock (xandros) GNU/Linux we may spend some time on it, but the system is quite old and it's inconvenient to make 3rd-party packages for it. - Gentoo: submission in progress (but not much activity yet). Any volunteer for placing it in sunrise? :)
- Slackware (through slackbuilds) - any volunteer?
