    What version of Linux is this? What version of Wine?

    Does the keyboard work in notepad?

    To tell what version of Linux you have, look at the text file /etc/issue.
    e.g. from the commandline, do
    cat /etc/issue

    To tell what version of Wine you have, one way is to give the command
    wine --version
    from the commandline.

    Yes, type it into the terminal at the command prompt.

    Alternately: in Ubuntu, you can do
    System / About Ubuntu
    to find out the version of Linux, and you can do
    System / Administration / Synaptic Package Manager
    and search for Wine to see what version it's offering.
    (That's not as reliable as "wine --version" because you
    might have installed wine some other way, I wouldn't know.
    And you might be using KDE instead of Gnome, in which case
    I don't know what the GUI clicks would be for this.)

    Ok, I'll try that, i put wine--version into the terminal and it came up unknown command, probably cause i didn't put sudo in front of it though, i'll try it again, if i play the games not going through wine, the controls work, but the game doesn't. ok its telling me command not found.


    ok, i got the package manager, and the wine versin is 1.0.1-ubuntu2

    No, it's because you forgot the space. It's
    wine --version
