Sometimes, it’s happy news day. Today is one of these days. Paradox Interactive has ported 3 great games from the Penumbra series to Linux, they are horror games which received good metacritic scores ranging in the 70. The best thing about these games is that you can buy all 3 of them for only 5$! Go run to their online store, select “Linux” in the little menu and there you go…
They clearly don’t do this for profit, so if you want to support gaming on Linux, go ahead. It works perfectly on Fedora 11 x86-64 after some yum installs 
A more complete description can be read on http://linuxlock.blogspot.com/2009/07/are-you-afraid-you-will-be.html
Nice, I’m happy to see that publishers also release their games for the Linux platform. That’s definitely good news, now we only need free 3D drivers
Excuse me for bothering you.
I’ve bought the games but they don’t work on my system.
As it’s quite similar to yours, I ask for your help.
My machine is also a F11 x86_64 with nvidia geforce 6150 graphic card, using last drivers from rpm-fusion, 185.18.14.
Which are packages you’ve installed?
I presume there are 32bits libs.
I’ve installed all the dependencies I though I need but it doesn’t work.
Thanks, Iñigo
Yes, you need to install some 32 bit libs. The easiest way to know which your system needs is to run the games from the console, you will get errors like “file blah.so is missing”. Then run yum whatprovides “*/blah.so”" and it will tell you in which RPM you can find the file, just install the 32 bit version then (i586 or i686).
I’ve installed different 32 bits libs (nvidia, alsa, some X libs…) but it looks my problem is not that, it’s with the drivers.
Anyway I’ve asked in the vendor forum, as the are more people with the same problem.
Here is the link to the thread for reference:
http://frictionalgames.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3069
could you send me or paste which 32 bits libs have you installed, please?
$ rpm -qa|grep i586 | sort > libs32.txt
Thanks
My system has libs everywhere for testing purposes, so you might not want them all:

Solved.
It was a problem with xorg loading nvidia extensions after the mesa generic ones.
It’s solved now.
Thanks,
Iñigo
