Probably a dumb question but, have you restarted the computer since
doing the WoW install? I've only found one reference to that issue and
the post (on the WoW forum) said a full system reboot fixed it.

I've restarted/shutdown many times since its been installed.

I have intel graphic chips, to the person that said ATI.

I'm not finding anything similar, maybe some more information would help track the problem down.

What version of Wine are you using? Linux distribution, video driver, and any error messages you get if you start the game from a terminal might help as well.

ubuntu 8.10
wine 1.1.15
checked my hardware drivers, and it said no proprietary drivers in use.

Have you tried adding "-opengl" (without the quotes) to the end of the command line when you start the game?

If not and/or if you need directions to do so:

If you start it from a desktop icon, right click on the icon and pick 'properties', in the box marked 'command' go to the end of the line and leave a space after .exe" then type -opengl, close the properties box and start the game as normal.

If you start the game from a terminal add -opengl at the end of the line then hit enter as normal.

Just asking because your terminal info shows several lines with D3D in them, that are not shown when my game starts (in opengl).

(Very simply) D3D and opengl are two different ways of handling the game graphics, people tend to have more luck in linux with opengl and in both windows and linux opengl often gets better framerates and prettier graphics.

The logon screen "shows" but the graphics are all fuzzy now.

I get these errors when I run it in opengl.

As far as I can tell those errors are always there when running opengl and do not effect anything in game. I have not yet found anything mentioning the graphics issue you are having or any problems specifically with intel cards, but will keep looking.

Could you try to downgrade maybe? Here it works fine, but i should
give it a try...
