wine no 3d agp acceleration 3d games just wont work

Do you have compiz effects and the like? (stupid desktop cube etc)?

no ive disabled all compiz and special effects :-(

Thats fine but in its current state, will the OS run 3D stuff without any effort?

it runs 2d apps but like i say 3d agp acceleration is disabled my OS runs other 3d stuff just fine

ok can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C display

Thanks

anyone any ideas @ all!??? ubuntu would b fantastic if I could get wine 3d agp accelerstion working in it!!

just tried compiling wine from .tar i.e ./configure when i do this i get the following message :

configure: WARNING: OpenGL development headers not found.
OpenGL and Direct3D won't be supported.

how do I install OpenGL development headers?

I don't have experience with the Intel graphics card in your computer, but from I gather from a few internet searches, there are in general issues with 3D performance in Linux with this card.

One suggestion I see popping up is to install driconf (sudo apt-get install driconf) and tweak its settings from there.
Another suggestion is to try Transgaming's Cedega, which apparently works with your card, instead of Wine (though I wouldn't recommend their product from my own personal experience with the company).

I hope this helps.

thanks! how do I configure driconf to work with wine??

Ah, it seems I was wrong about the driconf suggestion, that can only help speed up 3D in general.

I found a thread on Ubuntu Forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=963386) that might be helpful, and also a bug report that seems to be about the same issue (at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/406865) that offers the possibility that installing libgl1-mesa-dri (by running "sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri" from a terminal, without quotes) will resolve the issue.
Another suggestion from that bug report is to run "export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib32/dri" in a terminal before running wine from that same terminal.

I discovered that OpenGL development headers package for Ubuntu is freeglut3-dev. So try
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev
but I'm not sure that you will set up everything including Wine with your Intel integrated videocard.
As for me, i've got a laptop with ATI Xpress 1100 (200M) video and still trying to run Terraria under Wine.
P.S. me got Ubuntu 8.04 for video drivers, but should work
