goto http://www.guru3d.com then their download page and get riva tuner. install it and in the driver setting area open second drop down box select opengl icon then play with setting. it’s how I got my Chronicles of riddick to play. rivetuner has many setting to look at. give it a try.
I’m sort of in the same situation. I want to play Diablo II but I just get a black screen. WGL_ARB_render_texture is not supported according to the wrapper.
The only other version of wine available (through synaptic) on Hardy is wine 9.59, which I already tried and still (apparently) does not support the WGL_ARB_render_texture extension. Could you please elaborate (in noob speech) on how you got yours to work?
If you do anything with wine in Ubuntu/Kubuntu, add the winehq repository. You’ll be up-to-date with the latest enhacements.
Technically, that repository is on the development branch (1.1), but I haven’t seen any stability issues in my use (which is mostly Diablo II and Baldur’s Gate II).
EDIT: Just for the record, I’m using a GLIDE wrapper in Diablo II without issue right now. I can check which one I’m using when I get home in a few hours. I’m using it to fix the screen-offset bug that D3D mode has. If you don’t have that (or any other) glitch in D3D mode, I suggest D3D mode. GLIDE is limited to 16-bit color, and can’t do all the effects that D3D mode can.
