wine users - Mar 2009 - CounterStrike Source and Asus Ati Radeon HD 4850 512MB

Hi!

I installed wine in Kubuntu and afterwords i installed steaminstaller from my
CSs CD! I could execute both steam and CSs very fast and without problems. I
veryfied that my ATI drivers were properly installed, which they where. So no
problems there :) !
Then I configured my video options in CSs (16:10 1680 x 1050) and started up the
game, but then I got some strange problem with the screen. There where black and
grey lines flickering all over the screen, and I couldn't see the players
arms only the guns :(. In the background I could discern the map!
Are there som configs you have to do with V-sync or something like it?

Does anyone have a clue why this happens, and if there are some solutions to it?

I have tried wine in Ubuntu with an Nvidia 6800 GT card without these problems,
but instead I had bad fps and poor resolution.

Regards

If you still have your nvidia card, try with Wine 1.1.17, it performs a lot
better than previous versions of Wine with CS:S.

Ok, I will do so!
But I would like to get all the benefits from my new ATI card.
Damn! I knewed I should have bought an Nvidia card.

Overall ATI works a lot worse than nvidia, be it because of driver bugs and or
less well tested code in Wine.  Might be a good idea to sell your new ATI card
and buy nvidia to avoid the headache.

It is said that the CS:S "flashing lines" issue will be soon resolved
by the catalyst driver. But make sure you have installed the latest wine version
:)

I have the same problem with ubuntu 8.1, wine, and a ATi 4830 with
counter-strike. has anyone found a solution? will my updater auto-detect new
proprietary drivers?
