I'm using nvidia-current for the drivers and nvidia-glx-185 (which appears to be the latest although I did see mention of version 195 somewhere on the internet). Can you post your xorg.conf, Config.wtf (or at least the relevant parts of it) and anything else that may be useful (glxinfo output?) please. I'd really appreciate it. Also, do you remember any settings or changes you did after

That's what I'm going to do, after purging all the current nvidia stuff frommy system. The second thing I'm going to do is download, build and install the latest decent version of Wine. Thanks for all your advice. It's been really helpful. --------- One more question. What with OpenGL support getting dropped from WoW, I was wondering if it was worth trying to use DirectX under

@BlackNoxis/tparker: Wine --version: wine-1.2.2 I checked the software package manager program and I don't see a newer Wine version listed :( The graphics drivers are version "NVIDIA 195.36.24" I believe - the "185" in nvidia-glx-185 doesn't seem to match the actual driver version for some reason. ------ @dardack: Thanks for the info. I'd still be interested

Off the top of my head, the graphics cards are 7600 GS graphics cards. On the Kubuntu forum, some people who didn't have my problems getting OpenGL to work say they used some X Updates PPA to get their nVidia drivers packages, and they have version 280 of the drivers. I also found a website that talked about building the kernel with some special CONFIG options such as AGPGART and stuff. I

I'm getting 24 FPS in Uldum in that place the portal from Orgrimmar takes you to. Not great. My wife seems to be raiding ok with it as it is, so I guess we're ok, but it seems sad to have upgraded CPU and RAM so much and be getting such poor results. Seeing as playing WoW is pretty much all we do with it, maybe it's worth giving ?80 to Micro$oft to get their rubbish OS. In summary,

Are you pschizophrenic? Anyway, as I have said before, I am sure it ran faster when I was running it with the same graphics cards under Windows with a slower processor and less RAM. Maybe I need to tweak the SLI setting. Currently it is set to "on", but there are other settings. ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/96.43.20/README/appendix-w.html has some details.

At first I thought it was due to running Mangler simultaneously, but recently we've had no sound in World of Warcraft. One night when I was setting up to raid that night, I started WoW, and sound worked fine. I then quit WoW, started Mangler, started WoW, had sound in the first but not the second. When WoW started this dialogue box popped up saying that a change in hardware had been detected

wine-1.3.29 There's a small update to World of Warcraft today. When I run launcher.exe under Wine, it keeps crashing. I read on this forum that doing "winetricks ie7" would solve the problem, but at the end of installing IE7, the setup program says: Setup was unable to install the latest Windows Internet Explorer updates. After you restart your computer....etc. etc. It gives me

Ok, after several hours, I installed the nVidia drivers from their own website, and then (this was the bit that took longest) I installed Wine 1.3.28 from the PPA. I had a go at building 1.3.29 from sources, but it complained about not having 32 bit development libraries. I looked around and all I could find was to install wine-deps from the PPA so I figured if I was going to do that, I might as

After months where my wife was patiently playing WoW with appalling graphics because WoW doesn't really support OpenGL any more, and an even worse frame rate despite really low graphics settings, I finally got fed up with the fact that I cannot, under any circumstances, get sound out of Mangler and WoW at the same time even though the Wine audio test works fine, and was getting zero support on

I only got offered a few choices - I think I clicked yes to all of them. I read in one post that the answer is to uninstall and re-install the graphics drivers - not sure how that will help, but how do I uninstall nVidia's drivers? I have a vague memory of someone posting about lib32 paths and simlinks or something.

I ran WoW on Windows just a few weeks before I first posted in this thread. TBH my wife used it more than me - it was her PC. But I used to occasionally steer her around when we were questing together or something and she was AFK. The graphics settings under Windows were much higher then than they are now and the FPS, although I didn't measure it exactly, was at least as good. When I turn the
