Problem with GFX Card or OS?

Tanweer · 01-25-2008, 05:43 AM

Ok, well I am dual booting Ubuntu 7.04 and Windows XP on this computer. The game works perfectly on my Windows XP OS, but when I go on my Ubuntu, it gives me an error about "Graphics card not supported".

My GFX Card- Visiontek 9200 SE (ATi Radeon)

Some specs-

300 gb HDD
512 mb RAM
Windows XP SP2
Ubuntu 7.04
Pentium D Dual core

~Tanweer

P.S. I have to go to sleep, will check up on this thread in aroun 18-19 hours.

You have to enable the acceleration on your Graphics adapter... Since it's an ATI you need to look on the repositories or for a howto.

Are you running XGL/AIXGL? (if you are running beryl/compiz/compiz fusion you probably are). If yes, check this:

Did it work? I have no experience with ATI, and a HOW-TO would be an excellent thing to have on the forums!
