Wine and Steam problems

[phxxhpaz]

Hi, I am very new to Linux and am trying to get my games on Steam working. So I got Wine and Steam working fine but whenever I click on a game to launch it, it will say loading game then just go back to the normal game list page. Anyone have any suggestions?

[phxxhpaz]

btw I have the latest version of Wine installed. My mandrake linux came with Quake 2 and that is installed correctly but also doesnt load up. Im thinking that these two problems are linked. Please help, Thank you

Maybe the proprietary drivers for you video card are not installed
You may tell us what distro you run, and some info about your computer setup

Type in a terminal:

lsb_release -a

to know everything about your distro and post it here

if you have a NVidia card

glxinfo -v

if you have an ATI card

fglxinfo -v

to know anything about your video graphic adapter and some OpenGL info, just in case you wouldn't have the right one

post the results here

type lspci -v

to know everything about your computer setup, like everything that is connected and installed on your PC
and post the results here

So we'll be able to help you more.

hmm the first command didnt work but I have the 2008 Mandriva Linux 32 bit. I have an ATI X700 Pro but fglxinfo doesnt work but glxinfo did work here are my results.

[Warhammer39m]

You should have fglx drivers instead of glx. glx is for NVIDIA cards, fglx is for ATI cards.

You should, through your package manager, uninstall the glx drivers, and install the fglx ones. That is maybe part of your problem. Your video card is recognized, but wont be activated with the wrong drivers for them.

Those are the right packages for ati proprietary drivers

* dkms-fglrx
* x11-driver-video-fglrx
* fglrx-devel

You should uninstall those ones:

* dkms-nvidia-current
* dkms-nvidia96xx
* dkms-nvidia71xx
* x11-driver-video-nvidia-current
* x11-driver-video-nvidia96xx
* x11-driver-video-nvidia71xx
* nvidia-current-devel
* nvidia96xx-devel
* nvidia71xx-devel

if you have them
