I'm trying to install Starcraft II. When I start the installer, I get
graphics but no text. [Image: http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/2851/sc2d.gif ]
Console output is

My system:
Ubuntu 10.10, kernel 2.6.35-24 x86_64
ATI Radeon HD 3870, 512 Mb RAM
fglrx 8.80.5
X.Org X Server 1.9.0
wine-1.3.10
Things I've done already:
Added "nopat" to the boot options, and confirmed in dmesg that
"Kernel supports PAT but it has been disabled."
winetricks droid fontfix fontsmooth-rgb gdiplus gecko
winetricks vcrun2008 vcrun2005 allfonts d3dx9 win7
Disabled mmdevapi
Tried running in a virtual desktop
Set registry entries as follows:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
"DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl"
"Multisampling"="disabled"
"OffScreenRenderingMode"="backbuffer"
"PixelShaderMode"="disabled"
"UseGLSL"="disabled"
"VertexShaderMode"="none"
"VideoMemorySize"="512"
Also tried setting ORM to pbuffer with the same results.
Also tried setting VertexShaderMode to "hardware" with the same
results.
I tried PlayOnLinux, but it seems to have simply done all of the above and
gotten the same result.
I understand one of the standard answers is, "the ATI drivers suck, buy an
nVidia card." Operating on pure denial here, I'm hoping there is some
other answer. Is there something left to try?
Bump No one has encountered this problem before? Really?

ATI drivers were never good for as long as they've been around (both Windows and Linux). And the way things are going it won't change any time soon. Why people continue to by those cards knowing well and good they won't by usable I have no clue.

I do want a new MacIntosh or a Dell (Lenvono, say WHAT?) The old laptop is a REAL IBM (assembled in Mexico) A22p with an ATI Rage 3D (AMD does not even support these so I'm 'stuck' with the Raedon Linux drivers) and it was built in 1998. The Mac is the first generation MacBook Pro. Maybe going to an i5 or i7 with an nVidia would be a 'good thing'.>ATI drivers were never good for as long as they've been around (both Windows and Linux).

I've had a series of ATI cards and some of them were Wonderful and some were garbage. The current video system works, and there are more problems with Apple's X11 than with the video drivers. However, some companies view Linux as 'nicheware' and don't provide ANY support. I like the fact that the AMD at least views Linux as more than that. Again, it's the old "get more users, and we'll make better drivers" and "Make better drivers and we'll get more users" cycle. For now, I'm stuck with the old Mac...I don't want to pay Apple's retail price and the local Mac support store cannot get any. James McKenzie> > > > >

Only about hardware - it sucks. No support for 3 displays (laptop + 2 external). Virtual Machine barely running. But on Linux - what drivers? Intel doesn't make any! The only option available is the open source driver.
