    Half Life 2 Running *very* slowly under wine

    Hey guys,

    I've installed half life 2 with steam successfully under wine and can get into the game itself fine, but it's running at an unplayably slow speed. I have an ATI 200M Radeon Xpress graphics card with 128 megs of memory (shared with my ram) in my laptop and it ran fine under windows with 384 megs of memory dedicated to ram. I recently added in another gig of ram, so ram shouldn't be a problem. As for the processor I'm running an AMD sempron 3300+, which might be the issue, but with the rate the game is going even on the lowest visual quality settings, I think I have deeper issues. Further evidence is that the native linux game Nexiuz has similliar speed issues. I was recently trying to develop a few OpenGL programs of my own, and in the tutorial they had you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for lines denoted (EE). I found this:

    Code:
    (EE) AIGLX error: dlsym for __driCreateNewScreen_20050727 failed (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driCreateNewScreen_20050727)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
    This doesn't look very promising. Here's my glxinfo on verbose.

    Code:
    alaric@ubuntu:~$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo

    I'm running KUbuntu 7.04 with both KUbuntu and Wine fully updated. Am I right in thinking that I need a different graphics driver? I used the restricted-manager program (not native under kubuntu) to install the ATI driver, is something else wrong?

    I would maybe recomend using cedega rather than wine. This is more aimed directly at games. Yes, it is supposedly a 'pay-for' peice of software, but iirc, the CVS version is a free version, so if you didn't want to download the full version somehow, you could just get the CVS version from the transgaming website i believe.

    did you got your vedio drivers installed properly.

    grep "Driver" /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    post the output here

    Sorry about the really slow response time guys, but I've been trying to get a new xbox 360 :P. They're definitely of M$ quality (broke within 30 days). Here's my grepped x11.conf

    Code:
            Driver          "kbd"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Driver          "synaptics"
#       Driver          "wacom"
#       Driver          "wacom"
#       Driver          "wacom"
        Driver          "fglrx"

    I wouldn't agree. You've been unlucky there. Mine's still going strong and i got mine just before Christmas last year. Had ONE problem where i got the red ring of death, but that was cos the plug worked its way loose on the power strip it's plugged into. Pushed that back in properly, and all ok

    As for the problem... what sort of rates do you get from glxgears? In a terminal run "glxgears" and leave it running for a minute or so.

    windowed I get great frame rates, but when I switch it into full screen it's so bad that it crashes after a couple seconds.

    Code:
    alaric@ubuntu:~$ glxgears
3579 frames in 5.0 seconds = 715.736 FPS
1262 frames in 5.1 seconds = 246.247 FPS
42 frames in 5.3 seconds =  7.873 FPS

    Your problem is really simple indeed, you need to disable AIGLX in order to get fglrx working, add this to the end of your xorg.conf
    Code:
    Section "Extensions"
        Option          "Composite"     "0"
EndSection

    umm... I went to put it in and this is exactly what I found pre-edit.

    Code:
    # /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf(5) manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
