Well, I want to get FEAR working on my jaunty install. I have already got it to install, I applied the FEAR patch, and noCD'd it. But when I try to start it, it doesn't do anything. I've been looking around and I got this page: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=5159&iTestingId=12223 Now, I'm seeing stuff about "1. Put native d3dx9_36.dll to your game or system32 folder", and "4. Change HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D\OffscreenRenderingMode to "fbo" to get better fps and Pixel Doubling/Soft Shadows working" but I don't know how to do these. Can someone explain a little bit for me? Thanks.

Put native d3dx9_36.dll to your game or system32 folderJust get a copy of d3dx9_36.dll (e.g. from the d3dx redistributable package from ms) and put it in the game directory OR use winetricks to install it ( see http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks - package d3dx9).

It depends on your wine version if you need to do this step. On wine newer than 1.1.23 fbo is the default value for OffscreenRenderingMode (so you could skip these step there). If there are any further problems, please run the game from a terminal (see http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-60c5de309a53bb8ed07d8af1ca26db129334cb43 ) and add the error messages. Also please add your wine version (and for games the graphic card and driver version).

Well, I keep checking the guides for install the ATI drivers, and I ran into this: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide#Installing_the_drivers_manually Read that section. It says that in Jaunty the ATI proprietary drivers for the Xpress series aren't supported anymore. So, I installed the "ati" open source driver, and it give me problems and would freeze on me within a minute of starting the computer. But if you read this: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide#Open_Source_Drivers It says ubuntu will already try and use one of those drivers. Anything I'm missing? Well, is there anyway to install just the "radeon" driver that is described here?: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide#Open_Source_Drivers It says limited 3D for newer cards, and my card isn't new.
Yea, in 9.04, my chip works out of the box with the open source driver: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonXpress So, back to this:> I managed to stabilize FEAR on my system by disabling GLSL in the registry and enabling DX8 shaders in the game.I know how to enable DX8 shaders but how do I disable GLSL?
