wine users - Apr 2008 - Games not loading

My games Heroes might and magic 5 tribes of the east and Civilization 4 are
crashing on load in wine.
They loaded before when I was using the Ubuntu drivers.
Ever since I have changed to The ATI drivers have my Games stopped running. I
have added the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Code:
ection "Device"
	Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]"
	Driver      "fglrx"
	Option	    "VideoOverlay" "on"
	Option	    "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
	Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800"
	Option "UseFastTLS" "off"
	Option "KernelModuleParm" "locked-userpages=0"
	Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"


I have also made log files for both heroes and civ if needed.
I have tried to update wine to the new version but my system says its the newest
version.
I used the following walk through to install the drivers:

Same problem here: i can install games perfectly, i can run Photoshop and other
apps perfectly, but i can't start games...

I discovered that the problem is the fglrx driver: i tried the radeonhd one and
it works, i can start games!!! But they're unplayable because direct
rendering has not been implemented yet, so it's too slow...

I tried OffscreenRenderingMode with "fbo", "pbuffer" and
"backbuffer"; i tried to set VideoMemorySize to "512" and
"256"; i tried to disable Vertex Shaders and Pixel Shaders; i even
tried to set UseGLSL to "disabled"..... all those tries were useless.

Uh, i forgot, i'm using:
- Wine 0.9.60
- Gentoo Linux
- kernel 2.6.24-gentoo-r5
- fglrx 8.473 (Catalyst 8.4)

My video card is a Radeon HD 3870 (512MB).

Is there something i can do to get games working with fglrx drivers?

Are *all* games broken with fglrx?

Try downgrading Wine to wine-0.9.58. There were few regressions with ATI cards.

I find this to be strange becasue on ubuntu 7.10 with wine 9.57 and with the
ubuntu drivers did games run i vine slow but it ran the games at least

Hi

Im new but having trouble running games under ubuntu 8.04 wine 9.60 

all games install fine but

counterstrike 1.6 runs but crashes/freezes box after indeterminate time.
cs ran fine in software mode. although the graphics lagged badly.

trackmania will not start just crashes.

so im guessing games just wont run correctly under the current version of wine /
ati drivers does anyone know a previous version of wine / driver combination
that would work?

I really want to dump M$ but this is the only thing stopping me now :-(

Which drivers are you using? And which version?

wine-0.9.59, wine-0.9.60 and for some games wine-0.9.61 are broken on ATI
hardware. Use older Wine versions.
