I know that there have been a couple of forum topics about this, but I have been unable to find one that has a solution. The problem is that in most of my Wine programs the CPU usage is at 100% continuously, even when the program is idling. Programs that this affects: Steam, CS:S, Half Life, Natural Selection, Dwarf Fortress, Dwarf Therapist Programs this doesn't affect: I Wanna Be the Guy Wine version 1.2-rc2

I'm running it in Ubuntu 10.04, installed via the Ubuntu Software center. Graphics processor is ATI Radeon Xpress 200m. I just running the preinstalled, non-ATI driver that came with this version of Ubuntu because I have been unable to find the Linux driver for my card.
Hardware Drivers doesn't have it, and EnvyNG isn't supported for Ubuntu 10.04. Is it still worth a shot?
The ATI drivers are mostly fine, actually. At least they perform well, even if there's the occasional bug. By the way, there's an easy download and installation for ATI video drivers right from the ATI site. Remove your free drivers and try out those; they work pretty well for games.
