[SOLVED] Game display problem

[Aste88]

Hello everyone,
I have a problem playing some games both trough wine and not.
When I start the game the screen images are scrambled in little squares while the game still run. Even after terminating the program (I can still click the exit button) the screen remains scrambled, to make it return normal I have to restart the x server.

I'm running debian lenny with 2.6.24 kernel
I have an ATI mobile radeon 9600 with it's driver installed from the packages and configured with aticonfig. I run Neverwinter Nights without any problem.
This error occurs when I start either Doom3 (trough wine) or wolfenstein enemy territory (linux version).

If anyone can help I would very much appreciate it!!

Edit: doom runs fine if I use a wine virtual desktop

This may or may not help your problem, but there's a Linux native version of Doom 3.

sounds like a driver problem try a up to date driver from ati or reinstalling your existing one

I installed the packages from the debian lenny non-free repository for the glfrx driver and now everything works fine... looks like the packages generated from the ati installer need some adaptation for debian!
