wine users - Jan 2012 - WoW is not beeing started, wine has problems

Hello everyone.

I've asked for help a few days ago, but now I need help again.  [Embarassed]

Here I have another problem.

I want to start World of Warcraft (wow.exe), I have downloaded wine with Yast.
I've installed already a 3D-driver on my graphic-card.
And I have already the "World of Warcraft" file.

So, I want to start in the terminal with the command:

wine "World of Warcraft/WoW.exe" -opengl

On my laptop, the game starts and I can play without any problems.
On my PC comes this error report:

wine "World of Warcraft/WoW.exe" -opengl
X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  139 (ATIFGLEXTENSION)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  66 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  256
  Current serial number in output stream:  256

What is now the problem?

Here more Information about my System:

Kernel:  Linux 3.1.0-1.2-desktop i686
Distribution:  openSUSE 12.1 (i586)
KDE:  4.7.2 (4.7.2) "release 5"

And I have a ATI graphic card.

Can anyone help me again?  :?

This is probably silly, but I remember someone having trouble before 
because of a capital letter - check the folder and be sure of the name 
of the .exe you want, is it WoW or Wow or wow?

The .exe is called "Wow.exe".
But if I write the command in the terminal

wine "World of Warcraft/Wow.exe" -opengl

there comes the same error report:

X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  139 (ATIFGLEXTENSION)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  66 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  256
  Current serial number in output stream:  256

Other ideas?  :?

Looks like a graphics driver issue.
Did you install Catalyst? Try reinstalling it.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling your video driver.

Okay, I had the idea, that it is a problem of the driver.

Good.

I've done all with this page from OpenSuse-Wiki:

http://de.opensuse.org/SDB:AMD/ATI-Grafiktreiber#Installation_via_makerpm-ati-Skript

And now I want to uninstall the driver.
So, I go in my terminal and become root with:

su

Then I give the following command:

./makerpm-amd-12.1.sh -u

And then comes this error report:

Check for running this script as root ...                       [ OK ]
Check for correct runlevel to remove AMD Catalyst 12.1 ...
   Current runlevel: 5
   Error: The system is in wrong runlevel. Please switch to runl [ FAILURE ]


I know, this is not a problem for a wine forum, but maybe someone can help
again?
What is a runlevel, and how I change it to uninstall the driver?

Thanks for all answers

Ask on the openSUSE forum. As you say, this is not a Wine question.
