Hi dere, I switched over from Windows to Linux and I'm loving it. I do have a few problems with Gmod. 1. It won't work. I downloaded Wine after I downloaded Gmod, would that mess it up? Do I have to redownload it? 2. I also downloaded it from Steam, does that affect it? kthnx :D
What happens when you launch it from steam?What is your Wine version? 2009/8/16 saronn <wineforum-user at winehq.org>> Hi dere, I switched over from Windows to Linux and I'm loving it.

Do you know you have to install games on the Linux partition through Wine, not try to launch them from the Windows partition?
I'm already pretty suspicious that it's my driver. But, how can I identify which driver is mine? It's an Intel, and their auto-detect feature only works for Windows. Anyone know how to figure it out?
Wow, I spent an hour or two finding LSPCI, and all along I had it. ;) I guess my card is Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller, if that's what I'm looking at. And it's not just GMod, but Portal also doesn't work, if that's worth anything. On Windows, a few weeks ago, I went to the Intel homepage and it auto-detected my card and upgraded it. After that, everything worked. Another piece of information.
:C It's a laptop, and no, I don't have any other graphic cards.
I just realized how hopeless this is. I can't remember what I'm supposed to be doing. I think I'm looking for an update to Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller, but when I search for it at the INTEL HOMEPAGE IT DOESN'T APPEAR. It's like it doesn't exist! What am I supposed to do? I've gotten to the 'desperate-beyond-sanity' stage now. Couldn't there be something, a download, a guide, SOMETHING to do that would fix this. This shouldn't be happening, NO ONE ELSE has this problem. I still feel bad :c Sleep doesn't help stuff like this.
Also, calm down, I know how this can be frustrating, but there might be a good way to solve it all. If you are running Ubuntu and there are drivers available for you, you might want to ask it to enable them. First do what Gert van den Berg said and enable the repositories. After that, assuming you use gnome, go into System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers (or something similar). Now, see if there is any mention to your graphics card. If there is, enable, reboot and come back with possible results :) Cheers, Jorl17
