I'm trying to run Heroes of might and magic 5 tribes of the east, All 2d and direct draw graphics works fine but not 3D graphics. Can some one tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm using Ubuntu 64 bit on an Acer aspire 5020 laptop. I have an ATI 700x Graphics Card. I'm not using the ATI Drivers

I have an ATI 700x Graphics Card.This is problem # 1. If you ever have a choice again pick a nVidia based card. This will be much better supported in Linux.>I'm not using the ATI Drivers >That is problem # 2. Use the proprietary binary drivers. John M. Drescher
I've never been a friend of ATI (long live NVIDIA) but I'd assume if you're not using the ATI Drivers, don't expect to get any kind of 3D acceleration... Just a thought anyways.

I didn't want to use the ATI drivers this time around because last time I used them wine didn't start the game at all. humm no I haven't disabled compiz/beril/xgl and yes I read up on this game and couldn't find an answer. Thats why I posted the Question here.

it says Yes so it should work
yes it works fine. The Game Loads and I can "play" it but without seeing any thing. It's almost like Wine doesn't recognize my graphics card.

AFAICT, nVidia and ATI cards depend on the OEM drivers to do any 3D currently. -- Paul Johnson baloo at ursine.ca -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Right I don't have any other games at the moment so I can't really test them. But the game works not with full windows graphic and for some reason makes my PC a strange sound when it renders 3D graphics in Ubuntu. And The game won't play in full screen mode and runs kinda slow for some reason. Hey it runs at least so I'm not really complaining.
