16 bit graphics - Creatures Docking Station

Hi,

I've been trying to play Creatures Docking Station through Wine with no luck after various issues trying to install the linux edition on Ubuntu 11.04. Here is what I've gotten after trying to run in an Xephyr window:

Any help would be appreciated!

As stated, you don't have any OpenGL graphics drivers installed (or your card doesn't have any appropriate drivers). What graphics card do you have? Have you installed the proprietary graphics drivers when using an ATI or NVidia-based card?

Here is what shows up from lspci:

Code: Select all

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

I'm just using the drivers that Ubuntu installed when I installed it, haven't really added anything. I've been able to run this program in windows without a problem though on this computer

In that case, you're dependent on what graphics driver Ubuntu uses for your Intel card. And it seems that your card isn't supported by the driver very well - you don't even get 3D hardware acceleration.

That line from lspci was fairly useless, by the way; it only tells us that you're using an Intel GPU, not the GPU model. Depending on that, it makes sense that it will or won't work, since some cards in Intel's GPU series simply have hardly any acceleration at all.

It's either that, or Xephyr. Maybe Xephyr doesn't use any hardware acceleration at all. Is there any reason you're not just trying it through your regular X session?

read the 1st link, then there are driver links on next link.

Note: WineHQ and I are not responsible for any thing you may brake installing these drivers.

I was using it since I thought it would help with the 16-bit graphics problem, but it didn't seem to help. All I seem to get from any sort of searching is that it's an Intel GMA HD card, but I can't figure out which one, I'll post back if I can figure out
