I have this same "problem" on windows. Team fortress 2 refuses to run "Engine Error Your graphics hardware must support at least pixel shader version 1.1 to run this game!" Most of you are probably thinking maybe i should get a new graphics card, no thanks, i rather never play the game. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_shaders "A pixel shader serves to manipulate a pixel color, usually to apply an effect on an image, for example; realism, bump mapping, shadows, and explosion effects" i don't care if its pink dots over black, i just want to see blobs of matter move. i'm willing to edit the code if necessary, but first i want to make sure i'm not reinventing the wheel.
