Im running wine 1.01 and i have Nvidia GeForce 9800GT with Nvidia driver version 185.18.36 on ubuntu jaunty When i try to run games thru wine, i often get messeges about my videocard having to low memory or that i dont have direct3d, hardware 3d acceleration etc etc... I have installed many things thru winetricks such as DriectX 9, .NET, VB etc etc Still Wine doesnt get my videocard drivers... I even tried to install windows drivers from nvidia into wine, just for the sake of it. It didnt work Im new to linux and my ubuntu installation is not very old, max 1-2 weeks. Am i missing something here? Games like Warcraft III, Fable, Half-Life 2 works allmost... Exept some bad graphics... But they cant influence the screen resulotion. If Half-Life runs in 800x600 resolution. It will be in a centered window on my desktop with that resulotion, Not full screen... Warcraft III makes everything around its actual size just black, it doesnt fit the window since it cant affect the desktop resolution. Please? What am i missing... Some vitual part of my videocard drivers.. I have triedout other versions of the drivers, but this version i have now ( the latest from nvidias website) works most well with ubuntu. But Wine cant get into it Please help me out!!

I have the same video card and use wine for opengl games without (much) trouble using Nvidia driver 185.18.14 in Fedora 11.

Update your wine version : http://www.winehq.org/download/deb , and try again afterwards. If necessary, recompile your graphic card drivers and have a look at the howtos on http://appdb.winehq.org for each game you wish to play.
