wine and amd radeon issues

Post by sjattah »

I have experienced this on both wine 1.3.35 and 1.5.10.

There are two games that won't work properly with my amd radeon 6870 card:
- knights of the old republic
- knights of the old republic: sith lords

I have been playing the first one with my old Nvidia 260gtx card, (same wine version), and
it worked ok (except all movies were displayed in a window).

I get to the main menu, I am able to play old movies (and they are displayed in fullscreen) and load a previous saved game,
but the display is messed up when I start playing the game. The menu that I get when pressing escape is displayed ok,
so it's probably openGL related.

Also, I was able to play "The Last Remnant" with my Nvidia card, although only part of the display
was shown in a small window.. Resizing the window worked,and then I was able to play it.
Now I do not se that window anymore.

I guess I can not be the only one who has had similar problems. Or maybe I am wrong.

Please run with wine 1.5.10 from command line and post terminal output here.

In general nvidia cards are working much better with wine. One thing that might have gone wrong could be, that the old driver for the nvidia card wasn't removed properly, so you'd have to find out which files were installed by the nvidia driver. Are you using Ubuntu 12.04 and/or 64bit linux?
