Hey, I have installed Ubuntu a few days ago, since my experience with Windows Vista has been horrible. I decided to run steam using wine, and I was also going to run Counter-Strike. So I installed wine first using the following command, "sudo apt-get install wine". Then downloaded steam and installed it. When I launched Steam, my friend's names were very hard to read. It's like it was a mess. (By the way, I did put tahoma.ttf font in drive_c/Windows/Fonts) Not mentioning it was very laggy. So then I downloaded Counter-Strike, and ran it. When I first opened it and clicked on "Find Servers" it crashed. So i had to restart the computer. I ran it again and again and had no luck. Maybe I did something wrong when I installed it? These are my specifications, Processor: AMD Phenom 1.8 GHz Quad Core Processor Video card: ATI Radeon HD3200 1Gb (If that matters) Memory: 4 GB DDR2 Operating System Version: Ubuntu Desktop 9.04, 64 bit Do you have any suggestion on what is wrong or what I should do? Please keep in mind that I am really new to ubuntu, and I do not know what some of the things might be. So please be specific when you tell me something. Thanks

I installed the driver that ubuntu offered me. When I downloaded and installed the latest "official" drivers from AMD site, it downgraded it, instead of upgrading it. I couldn't even run Normal Visual Effects because of it. By the way, I successfully ran Half Life 2 Deathmatch (well with a lot of bugs). So the problem shouldn't be in performance, since cs doesn't even need opengl running. It runs in software mod too. But just to make it clear, I did run cs in opengl.
Yo I found the problem downgrade that shit. I downloaded 9.4 and took off 9.6 drivers now the games are running, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1133950&page=2, do what Kmhr33 does, If you need the url to 9.4 -> http://www.icewalkers.com/download/ATI-Radeon-Linux-Display-Driver/3096-2874/old/.
Snak450 can you please tell me what to do? I am pretty new to ubuntu, so I totally got no idea how to delete drivers.
By the way, the link you gave me is to the driver I need to run the games?
