lol, i used a virtual pc on linux to boot up a real win2k and then used vncviewer to connect to another linux X server and launched winex (a windows api/emulator) to start steam...
and it failed, to start the gfx mode because vnc only started X 3.3
i'll now try with a recent Mandrake 10.0 and nvidia gl drivers on my desktop pc.
i don't expect this to cause kernel crashes, i rather expectX to kill my patience since i hate X....
