wine users - Jun 2011 - Why doesn't Portal with Wine with the radeon driver work?

I am using Wine 1.2 which I compiled on Debian testing/wheezy. It works with
fglrx but not with the radeon driver. I am using the AMD/ATI HD4850 video card.
The following terminal output shows the wine error and that the radeon driver
has OpenGL 2.1 support which to my understanding is at least the equivalent of
Direct3D 9 (which is all I need). Also, there is a wine popup for every attempt
to run a Windows game (none of the games I have work with the radeon driver
except Nexuiz which is native and it works at max settings):

deniz at debian:~/Desktop/portal$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.10.2
deniz at debian:~/Desktop/portal$



with fglrx-driver installed:

Code:
deniz at debian:~$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"
OpenGL version string: 3.3.10666 Compatibility Profile Context



so, the version of OpenGL supported by the proprietary driver is higher than
that of the open source driver which is not shocking but what I don't
understand is why a Direct3D 9 game is not working with OpenGL 2.1 support
through wine.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

First, you probably should use latest wine 1.3.X
Second, Linux AMD/ATI drivers are not on par (by far) with their
windows counterparts, so you should try to update to the latest driver
for your card.

s3a, I think you should uninstall and reinstall your ATi drivers. I've had
the same issue before, and it's usually because the 32bit OpenGL libraries,
from the drivers, didn't install/initialize correctly.

Head to
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.42&lang=English
and get the Catalyst 11.5's.

Also, try out Wine v1.3.21.

Let us know how it goes.

I've been googling for days and I am really stuck. Could you please help me
out with whatever it is that may seem obvious?

I use Debian (which didn't detect OpenGL at all) but I tried Ubuntu 11.04
and I played another game with so many polygons flying around but OCCASIONALLY,
it looked normal but had certain things missing. The people were missing for
example, but when the people faced you, you saw floating blue-green eyes. What
this means to me is that, the open source radeon driver is not ready YET but
that, in Debian the Wine that I compiled from source as well as the Wine from
WineHQ's repository (Ubuntu had it in it's own repositories) did not
detect OpenGL at all whereas Ubuntu's Wine 1.2 detected OpenGL although it
screwed things up.

I want to know how to make Wine see OpenGL such that I can have it ready for
when the open source radeon driver is ready. I own an ATI/AMD HD 4850 and, by
the way, fglrx is the catalyst proprietary driver. I am not that opposed to
using it and don't mind doing so in the meantime but I would still like to
know how to resolve my issue such that I can play my games using the open source
radeon driver in the future.
