WoW Display Issues.

**ILContent** · 04-09-2009

I am using a Toshiba Satellite A40-S270 and when I ran Windows XP I could easily play WoW, but now that I have Ubuntu my graphics in the game are all wonky. They terrain doesn't load properly and is one big blur. Everything else runs pretty much the same. I have tried reconfiguring Wine several different ways as suggested by others, but nothing seems to help.

Could it be that my graphics driver is not functioning properly? Everything else seems to be working fine with regards to display and graphics, so I am not quite sure if this is the case.

Any suggestions?

What driver are you using? are you running wow with opengl? Run this command

Code:

grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Nothing happened when I did =[

we need to specify driver in your xorg.conf file maybe.
Intel Extreme Graphics 2 - ThinkWiki
It is supported by i810 driver. run this command:

Code:

gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

scroll down to the device section, it will be something like this

Code:

Section "Device"
Identifier	"Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device"
BusID		"PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

add the line

Code:

Driver "i810"

then restart gdm by opening a terminal and executing

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

in case this doesn't work, post entire contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file

Sorry this took so long. Haven't had net >.>

okay... Here is the entire contents:

Code:

# xorg.conf (X.Org 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 manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Monitor		"Configured Monitor"
	Device		"Configured Video Device"
EndSection

under Identifier "Configured Video Device" add the line Driver "i810"

then save the file, and restart your machine

also, post the output of

Code:

glxinfo | grep -i direct

after you reboot, it should say yes, if it doesn't we have to try something else

**ILContent** · 04-13-2009

Okay it says yes.

**coopstah13** · 04-13-2009

has your graphics performance increased? are you using opengl instead of directx?
