okay well i've been fighting to get wow to work the past few days...i am a complete linux noob running ubuntu 8.10(intrepid)...after many issues installing i finally got the game installed and booting up however when i get in game i deal with massive glitching and screen tearing i set all screen tear reduction options in wow and have read several possible fixes but i have insufficient privliidges to modify most of the files...i dont want to graphically log in as root because of the risks i've heard of with that. if anyone has anything that could help me i would greatly appriciate it...my computer is a toshiba satellite a215 with a ATI radeon in it for a graphics processor

this is an excerpt from wowwiki on troubleshooting wow on linux and the symptom is the closest to what im currently experiencing If you see a noticeable graphical studder every 3 to 5 seconds or so for this you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add something like: Option "UseFastTLS" "2"
how do i log in as root? i dont even know that

done...problem cleared up a bit...enough where i can make the determination that i believe the glitch is based off of text...chat window is all haywire and once i load into world(dalaran at this point) all the text on the screen starts getting streteched all over the screen in predominately triangular patterns
discovered the issue is exclusive to dalaran at this point...logged in over crystalsong woods and had no issues...text is most certainly the culprit...also low frames were an issue as well as input lag it seemed like even with the input lag reduction in wow...will continue to test text based issues in high traffic zones
combat tests seemed a bit choppy...im beginning to run out of ideas based on my general computer knowledge... any further help with these issues would be greatly appriciated from the bottom of my DK tanks heart >.<
