wine not recognizing my graphics card

[labatts]

I have several games installed, but only one of them (diablo 2) is working. All of the others give me some error about not being able to find a graphics card that works. All of the games have worked before, under a previous kubuntu release (am currently using 12.04).

One of the game tips from winehq (i believe for nwn2) was to go into regedit and change the entries in hkey_current_user_/software/wine/directx. However, this directory does not exist for me. I do have direct x 9 installed via winetricks, so I have no idea why this is not showing up.

I ended up installing the intel driver hoping that this was the issue, but I am getting the exact same results with the new driver.

If it matters, my specs:
geforce gt 240 card
kubuntu 12.04
wine 1.4

Thanks for any help.

If the console output shows this message:

Code: Select all

err:wgl:is_extension_supported No OpenGL extensions found, check if your OpenGL
setup is correct!

then the problem could be http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30270.

You didn't say whether your OS is 32 or 64 bit; the latter is very broken when it comes to Wine.

Ah sorry. I am running 32bit.

Well, I tried running nwn2 from the terminal and it works - only from the terminal. It gives me all sorts of error messages that make no sense to me, but it works so I guess i don't really care. No idea why I have to run it through a terminal for success, though.

The only other game that I think is relevant to this forum is warcraft 3. I tried running that in a terminal, and it was a no go. I get the following output:
