Major problem with any 3D game.

Post by kollapse »

Hi, I'm having some very nasty problem.
Wine works perfectly with normal applications, but when I try to open a game, it does something like this : http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/401/img1388tj7.jpg

I have an ATI Mobility X1400 video card with driver version 8.522 (fglrx)
I have 3D acceleration on as compiz does work.

Wine does this with compiz on/off so it's not because of it.

If it's of any help, other software do similar stuff in games. Cedega does this for example : http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/6260/img1391ui2.jpg in the any and all game, just like wine.

Anyone have any idea what the problem is ?
PS: Using Sabayon/Gentoo as distro with wine version 1.1.4 (though I have same problem on older versions)

That's a well-known bug in the ATI driver: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1173

Seems that some users who have upgraded to the latest driver say that some problems with Wine have disappeared.
