I'm having a bit of trouble running RTC3 Platinum. It installed just fine, but after starting, I receive a message: "Your graphics hardware or drivers do not meet the minimum requirements to run this application. This error has also been sent to Debug.log OK: <Attempt to continue> Cancel: <Exit>" After clicking "OK", WINE crashes. I know that my graphics hardware is easily up to the task. The AppDB says that it should work just fine. My System: ATI 4860HD with 1 GB RAM Ubuntu 11.10 WINE vers. 1.3.28 I'm using the Open Source drivers and have verified they are working correctly (Evil Genius runs great except for a couple small known graphical glitches). As far as I'm aware, only folks who used the proprietary ATI drivers have tried the game, so that may be the reason for the failure. On the off chance that it isn't, I thought I'd ask around. Thanks for your time.

As I said, other much more recent and complex games run well. It struck me as odd that a game as old as RTC3 would not work with more recent ones would.> > > And because a Video card can support a program under > WindowsXP/Vista/Seven does not mean that corresponding video > functionality exists in Linux, either Open Source or Proprietary. > > JamesI'm quite aware, thus why I checked glxinfo first to make sure everything was kosher. It was. Regardless, it seems like the program cannot be run without the proprietary driver. Unfortunate, but oh well. Thank you for taking the time to answer. I appreciate it.
