trouble with driver?

[paprika27]

Good morning,

I'm running mandriva 2008 with emerald and compiz-fusion (which shouldn't bother, at least this one guy on youtube plays cod4 with compiz enabled). I want to play cod4 on my mashine. I got it installed properly via wine. when I try to run it now, I get

[root@localhost Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare]# wine iw3sp.exe
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element
X Error of failed request:  GLXUnsupportedPrivateRequest
  Major opcode of failed request:  148 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  16 (X_GLXVendorPrivate)
  Serial number of failed request:  979
  Current serial number in output stream:  980
[root@localhost Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare]#

or

[paprika27@localhost Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare]$ wine iw3sp.exe
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element
X Error of failed request:  GLXUnsupportedPrivateRequest
  Major opcode of failed request:  148 (GLX)

  Serial number of failed request:  2053
  Current serial number in output stream:  2054
[paprika27@localhost Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare]$

when I run as root, I get a little post asking whether I want to reset all the options. When I click yes or no, it leads me back to my console with the above error.
as user, I get my virtual desktop and in it the same post asking whether to reset the options. again, either yes or no leads back to the error.

my xorg.conf looks like this:

I think my card is an ATI X1650 (PCI-E) or something (my actual card, a X1950 Pro just broke down a week ago...).

what's the problem?
how can I solve it?

help is much appreciated

alright... I installed the ati-driver-installer-8-8-x86.x86_64.run from amd. I tryed aticonfig and it said something about atifglextension and quit. so I installed everything that had to do with fgl. Now I can't get compiz to work properly anymore but at least I have catalyst control center (aticonfig) and can use it.
When I try wine iw3sp.exe again, it goes up to the "Call of Duty 4 Console" where it says "Error during initialization: Video card or driver doesn't support UBYTE4N vertex data." and only leaves me with an OK button which throws me right out as soon as I click it. farther up in the console I see that cod4 tryed to initialize something related to Direct3D. I'll try installing directX and what else I can find related to that problem.

still couldn't get cod4 to work. uninstalled the drivers as far as I could and reenabled compiz.

still looking for a solution.
