Dear friends,
I tried to find a solution but was not successful. Here is the problem: I apparently do not have 32bit libraries installed on F17 64bit version. And was not able to do so. Or Wine does not know where to look for it? Anyway.
I have Ati HD 4300 graphics card meaning I need to use kernel 3.4 and 12.6 legacy proprietary drivers (otherwise the battery on the laptop drains twice as fast). All is working nicely. Except for Wine and, of course, programs needing 32bit OpenGL support in it. I am using the latest version of Wine, 1.5.16 but the same happens with the previous version.
Can anybody help me: how can I install/get 32bit missing libraries using AMD legacy proprietary drivers? I see there are some files in /usr/lib/ directory but am not sure if those are the ones needed.
Some other distros solved this by building lib32 package which does not seem to be the case for Fedora (at least not for 12.6 legacy drivers and kernel 3.4.4 which needs to be used because of the legacy drivers).
Would installing an i686 version of Fedora solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.

Fedora17 x86_64, 12.6 legacy ati and OpenGL 32bit problem
Re: Fedora17 x86_64, 12.6 legacy ati and OpenGL 32bit proble
Hello,
I have not used old ATI drivers, I have just both an AMD card recently, and I am using akmods for the drivers.
Anyway:
Solution 1. On NVIDIA cards the driver actually asks you if you want the 32bit libs when you install. Make sure you did not miss this stem on your drivers.
Solution 2. Make sure you have both the 32 and 64 bit libs installed:
$> yum install xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-libs xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-libs.i686
In my case they come from rpmFusion so you will need to do some digging on what version of this guys you actually need ("yum downgrade" or "yum history" are your friend in case of a mismatch).
Solution 3. Yes 32bit version of the OS will fix this problem, just remember the RAM limits.
Also, latest wine (1.5.16) has some sound issues in fedora. So if you make it work but you here no sound, that is why.
Regards.

Re: Fedora17 x86_64, 12.6 legacy ati and OpenGL 32bit proble
Well, could not find a solution and changed the distor. Felt adventures.
Anyway, the problems were the following:
1. When installing the AMD drivers no questions are asked about 32bit libraries. There may be a way to force the installation but was unable to find that out.
2. In rpmfusion only drivers from version 12.6 up are available. But no 12.6 legacy packages. I found a thread about the relevant package and it seems it is in development but not yet available.
3. Decided to move to distro which provides 32 and 64 bit drivers. All is working well now.
Thank you for your help.
