OpenGL issue on games - Ati 5650 on ubuntu 10.10 64bit

[jamesensor]

Hi dear forum members. I have a problem with my ubuntu running d3d games in wine, I hope someone can help me with this as I am a bit amateur in solving this problem.

My config

Ubuntu 10.10 64bit on an Aspire 5740, proprietary drivers and fully updated to moment.

Code: Select all

Aspire-5740:~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Combat Wings Battle Of Britain$ sudo lspci | grep -i vga
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Redwood [Radeon HD 5600 Series]
Aspire-5740:~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Combat Wings Battle Of Britain$ grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
	Option	    "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
	Driver      "fglrx"
Aspire-5740:~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Combat Wings Battle Of Britain$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 6500M/5600/5700 Series
OpenGL version string: 4.1.10834 Compatibility Profile Context

Tried to play a game, as you can see by the folder, and the result is this:

Code: Select all

Wine prefix in on default mode. Pixel and vertex shader on.

I tried about everything I know and google for similar user's issues but they all date from a year or two ago. I suspect it could be because of ubuntu's updates changing a lot of stuff, because I already had it working perfectly (I can't install ati's driver in ubuntu 11.04, it unpacks and closes terminal window instantly, so i returned to 10.10, with driver 11.6 from ati site). I love linux but sometimes it can be a bit frustrating.. I hope someone here can help. Thanks

Hi,

Looking at the WineHQ AppDB : Combat Wings Battle Of Britain entry all I can suggest is to work around/disable the silent install of DirectX. That could certainly break your 3D rendering with any version of Wine...

Reinstall your graphics drivers, and don't forget the necessary 32 bit parts.

First of all, thank you both for hinting on possible solutions. I'll definitively try to reinstall the driver.

Concerning the 32 libs, what should i get from synaptic?

Here's what I have installed just typing a 32 lib search in it:

Update:

Reinstalling the driver made the difference. It works perfectly now.

However, it is worth mentioning that maybe ubuntu's updates mess up the driver's installation because I ran it and ended exactly as the present driver installation (no errors whatsoever), so, something got screwed. Anyway, thank you and i hope this topic help others.

Best regards.

The default for most Linux distributions is to install packages that
match the current processing environment. You are running a 64 bit
processor, so those were the packages installed. You have to ask for
the 32 bit video drivers to be installed for Wine. It would be nice for
the package installer for the 32 bit Wine packages to have a check for
the 32 bit video driver package so that it would be installed at the
same time if you install the 32 bit package.
