Hi I have a Radeon Ati 3d graphics external card in my machine. I have about 512 mb vram and 4 gb ram and intel core duo 2.4 ghz I have never experienced any problems with my graphics card untill i used it with wine on ubuntu. Suddenly I could not play the games I used to play in windows xp. I tested doom 95 and halo evolved and they both could not run and stuttered. I have no problems installing a windows version of filezilla so it would seem everytime i use wine with my 3d card it does work. So does this mean I have to buy another 3d card or what else to do? best regards iceb

Closed source what is that ? Can u give me direct links to those ? I have no problems what so ever running any games in windows xp ...... Also big 3d games like call of duty and medal of honor. So it would seem that the problem is not the windows drivers but only the linux driver i found...... So shall I buy another card ? Or is it fixable ? Without changing hardware ?
found out i had an update i did not discover on ati site .......... So maybe it will work better now in linux too........ I will also try to get the latest version 10.10 of ubuntu
hi is this the amagedon game u talked about ? http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/mortalkombatarmageddon/video/6159538/mortal-kombat-armageddon-gameplay-movie-15?nonRedirectElement=1 Please send me direct link to the game.......
Great. So that means problem solved? :)
hi only problem now is that I can not play the videos and tv shows I normally can because microsoft has not yet mad a silverlight in linux When is the release for the next silverlight (which is supposed to be in linux also)?? I have a subscripbtion to watch danish tv ............ So this is the only reason left why I did not delete my windows partition and started only running ubuntu Here is the danish site http://sputnik.tv2.dk/ And the the danish tv station http://www.tv2.dk/
