im running 2 gigs of ram, an ati radeon 2600 hd, and Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU
Q6600

ive been trying to get civ4 to work for the past week under ubuntu.
the only other thing ive tried other than wine, is virtualbox. and that didnt
work out. but i heard that wine has worked, so im stuck trying to get my game to
initialize.

also, if it helps, i think it crashes somewhere past xml, i think in init?

Reinstall your graphics drivers and make sure you have the necessary 32 bit
opengl libraries installed as well.

well as it is, im running compiz-fusion flawlessly, should i still reinstall the
drivers?

No, but please disable compiz, it interferes with running programs under 
Wine.

turning of compiz gave me the same result. i think i will delete the game and
for a fresh wine install.

which versions of wine have been known to work for civ4?

Which version of Civ 4? There are many. Check the AppDB for info on your
version.
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2514

well i have beyond the sword and warlords, but i would be content with just civ4
if it works. im pretty sure i have the 1.52 patch

Did you follow the howto in the AppDB for installing Civ 4?

But 10.04 with Gnome and Compiz disabled items (windows) vanish.
