wine users - Feb 2010 - X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo Direct rendering is disabled

Hi All,

I'm trying to run Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 20 on my Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit
with wine 1.1.37, but it is extremely laggy.  The mouse stutters ever 2 seconds
or so, making it difficult to click on anything.

Running it from command line, I noticed this error message:


Code:
err:winediag:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo Direct rendering is disabled, most
likely your OpenGL drivers haven't been installed correctly



I am using the ATI open source driver, and from what I can tell DRI is working. 
glxinfo says:


Code:
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2




I've searched the error using the search function, but the search
doesn't seem to bring back anything relevant.  Using google found this forum
thread,

http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=7370&sid=446054b5899e48d75f706a500416ccfd

The solution appears to be installing the 32bit DRI drivers, which I believe are
ia32-libs.  The version installed on my system is 2.7ubuntu17.

I found this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.2/+bug/506320

Which appears to be specific to nvidia (and doesn't fix my problem).  I also
tried LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libGL.so wine Mavis.exe, and that made it even
slower.

Anyone else run into something similar?  Any thoughts appreciated.

Is the program using any 3D? If not, that message is probably not relevant?

I am not sure if it is using any 3D or not to render the menus.
