What works
Running the game. 3d accelerated graphics.
What does not
Menu does not redraw/refresh. A workaround for this is to grab the tool bar and slightly move the window with the mouse to force a refresh.
 CD detection. move JK_.CD from your cd into your JK folder to skip detection.

To work around the menu problem, start the main application like this:
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/LucasArts/Jedi\ Knight/
wine jk.exe -windowgui

So, I followed instructions and opened JK using the -windowgui command in the terminal, but the join/host connection boxes were still empty. When I rolled the cursor over those boxes, there were sounds of items being encountered; but when I clicked on them repeatedly, I got a "Cannot connect to the network" error message. I also followed instructions and set all the required .dll files as native, and that didn't do anything, either. Anyone know how to fix this? (I use Lubuntu, if that matters.)
