I hope, some of you can help me.

Wine version? Video card? Drivers?

[wdub]

I'm sorry. Wine is 1.2.3, video card Radeon HD 4350. I was running the open source driver (radeon). Today i tried fglrx and got a different error (also at startup):

X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 135 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
Serial number of failed request: 1260
Current serial number in output stream: 1260

What version of the Catalyst drivers are you using? The opensource
drivers are missing functions that Wine uses for most video cards.

If i can't get this working, I would consider buying a new graphics card.
Maybe someone can recommend me one, that is known to be working for gaming under Wine (~50€)

I'm quite sure, that the graphics card isn't the problem, it should be capable of everything DX 9.0c or 9.29 requires. Don't know, if there is a more recent driver for your linux, but if there is, you should try it.

You should update wine to version 1.3.34 (soon 1.3.35). Do other games run under wine without issues?

If you look at
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=7450
there are some winecfg options to run the game.

For sure. But I thought, others manufacturer's support for linux drivers might be better.

But I've made some reasonable progress by now. Updating wine didn't change anything, but I got a new version of the proprietary drivers installed (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Binar ... alyst_11.2) and this made the game basically working.

I now have to deal with some issues left, most important, the games is limited to about 800x600px at the corner of the screen, but I'm confident.

Many thanks for your help so far!

Ok, so it now works except for the sound which keeps stopping after some minutes.
Wine output:

err:winediag:AUDDRV_GetAudioEndpoint PulseAudio "default" -22 without handle_underrun. Audio may hang. Please upgrade to alsa_plugins >= 1.0.24

But libasound2_plugins is not available for my ubuntu 10.04.
Does someone know a solution?

Have you tried building it from source? The Ubuntu forum has a long thread about how to do it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1681577 (Disclaimer: I don't use Ubuntu and have no idea if those instructions work.)

[wdub]

I don't think, that would work. There is a lot of packages relying exactly on version 1.0.22.
Of course I could change the version string to make the new version masquerade as the old one, but I'm afraid to cause serious problems by this.
