Direct3d with ATI Radeon Problem

[Inevitab13]

Hi,

I'm having trouble running 3d apps including the Direct3d test in Dxdiag under wine. I think that the problem is that dxdiag displays my Graphics card as this:

X11 Windowing System

This is obviously wrong because I am running this on a Radeon 2600 Pro.
When I try to run the Direct3d test It just crashes Wine. I am running the latest 8.04 Ubuntu with the Latest Fglrx Graphics drivers.

Could someone Please Help!?

dxdiag is a really bad testing program. Also that does not come with Wine which means you installed native directx - really bad idea.

However ATI drivers have lots of problems in general. And in latest few Wine versions there is a regression that might break some programs on Wine.

So if you have a real program (dxdiag not included) you can start from telling us what's the problem you have with it?

Any direct3d app seems to crash 20seconds after launching it. CSS, TF2, STALKER, BF1942. pretty much any direct3d game. Any Ideas?

First disable compiz. Second if things still don't work - downgrade Wine to 58 or older.

Nope, still same problem. So, I just paid for a nVidia 8600. Is there the same issue with nVidia Cards?
