Wine - WoTLK opengl Problem.

Post by Reix »

Hello,

This is my first post here.

I've started with linux some months ago, but i still keep my dual boot to play games. I was able to run work windows soft on Wine, but wasn't able to run wow.

I want to run it on linux so i can get rid of Dual boot but i'm having some problems to run it correctly.

I've managed to run the game perfecly with "d3d" but the FPS is very low(3-6fps). Even with pixel shader option unmarked on Wine its unplayable, if i mark pixel shader when i log in the game the screen stays all black.

When i run it on opengl it runs smoothly fast, but i have a problem with lightnings on screen an all text become unreadable (see pics):

(It doesn't matter if it is windowed or not).

I have an Mobile HD2400 from ATI with 128 MB DDR3.
Wine 1.1.8 (updated so i could install the xpack, i was having problems with the agree button on installation).

I've tried to make changes on Config.wtf :

I've tried to add some lines on xorg.conf:

Code: Select all

EndSection

EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier	"Default Layout"
  screen "Default Screen"
	Inputdevice	"Synaptics Touchpad"
EndSection
Section "Module"
	Load		"glx"
EndSection
I've added the OpenGL key with regedit

But none of this stuff seems to work.

Does anyone have any other tips on what i can look for to solve this problem? I've googled for about 5 hours and nothing else seemed reasonable.

i'd thank in advance to anyone that help me...

Edit: Typo.

it should get solved by installing a proper ati driver BUT

from what i've gathered distros with the xserv 1.5 (like ubuntu 8.10) and 1.4 (can anyone confirm about 1.4?) dont really support ati cards (the drivers ati has released are ultra bugged..) instead i'd suggest using the open soursed ones.

try this link for more info http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu ... tion_Guide

I use Ubuntu 8.04 with driver provided by "Hardware Drivers". I'll take a look at you tip and update here with any news.
