I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with the newest version of Wine. I'm relatively new to Linux, but I do understand the basics of terminal. I have Portal installed on the Steam platform in Ubuntu through Wine, and when I open it, it all starts up beautifully, but when it gets to the main menu, some objects are missing in the background and you can see some glitched up areas. Then, when I click new game, it loads fully and then simply crashes. I am running the game with -windowed and -directx 81 switches. I have a Pentium 4 2.4Ghz processor, a 256 Mb, slightly low-end video card (it still will play Portal at medium quality on Windows). Is there any way I can configure either the game or Wine so that it will run?

I looked that over, and tried all the things it gave me (disabling compiz, disabling steam in-game community, running with a couple different switches) and nothing worked. The same problem persisted.

lshw displays these two messages for my video card: id: display:0 description: VGA compatible controller product: RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] vendor: ATI Technologies Inc physical id: 0 bus info: pci at 0000:01:00.0 version: 00 width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm pciexpress msi bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver = radeon latency = 0 resources: irq : 26 memory : d0000000-d7ffffff(prefetchable) ioport : dc00(size=256) memory : dfde0000-dfdeffff memory : dfe00000-dfe1ffff(prefetchable) id: display:1 description: Display controller product: RV370 [Radeon X300SE] vendor: ATI Technologies Inc physical id: 0.1 bus info: pci at 0000:01:00.1 version: 00 width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm pciexpress bus_master cap_list configuration: latency = 0 resources: memory : dfdf0000-dfdfffff The second one is in red. I haven't installed any proprietary drivers for it, I just went with the one Ubuntu 10.04 pre-installed for it, and I don't know how to view that information.
