3D-games dosen't work

Fredrik-Hussein · Post by **Fredrik-Hussein** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 1:37 pm

I'm trying to run Heroes of might and magic 5 tribes of the east, All 2d and direct draw graphics works fine but not 3D graphics.
Can some one tell me what I'm doing wrong.
I'm using Ubuntu 64 bit
on an Acer aspire 5020 laptop. I have an ATI 700x Graphics Card. I'm not using the ATI Drivers

Then what do you expect from Wine then? Wine needs fully featured non-broken video drivers. Oh and you have to disable compiz/beril/xgl
Also have you followed the howto on AppDB page for this game?

This is problem # 1. If you ever have a choice again pick a nVidia
based card. This will be much better supported in Linux.

I'm not using the ATI Drivers

That is problem # 2. Use the proprietary binary drivers.

I've never been a friend of ATI (long live NVIDIA) but I'd assume if
you're not using the ATI Drivers, don't expect to get any kind of 3D
acceleration...

Just a thought anyways.

I didn't want to use the ATI drivers this time around because last time I used them wine didn't start the game at all.
humm no I haven't disabled compiz/beril/xgl
and yes I read up on this game and couldn't find an answer. Thats why I posted the Question here.

fine I'll try to install the ATI drivers again

Thanx for the help

it says Yes
so it should work

I'm trying to remove the drivers I have at the moment, and replace them with ATI's drivers from there web site.
I'll see what it does.

The new ATI Drivers didn't do any thing

yes it works fine. The Game Loads and I can "play" it but without seeing any thing. It's almost like Wine doesn't recognize my graphics card.

EEEH ops ehmm Got it to work with the new drivers now thanx for your help.
It dosen't display every thing and it runs a bit slow. But it works

Not WINE, other Linux games... NATIVE ones (quake 3 for Linux using
the icculus engine, Nexuiz, Tremulous, OpenArena, UT2004, TuxKart,
etc...)

That's probably what you're doing wrong. AFAICT, nVidia and ATI cards depend
on the OEM drivers to do any 3D currently.

not really, i have a radeon 9600 mobility, it works better with the free drivers than the binary drivers
only disadvantage of the free ones it the lack of opengl 2.0 support
iirc the highest they do are ogl 1.4

Right I don't have any other games at the moment so I can't really test them. But the game works not with full windows graphic and for some reason makes my PC a strange sound when it renders 3D graphics in Ubuntu.
And The game won't play in full screen mode and runs kinda slow for some reason.
Hey it runs at least so I'm not really complaining.
