ATI Video card problem

sharpe95 · 11-25-2007, 10:31 PM

I'm running Kubuntu 7.04, using a ATI Radeon fglrx video card (there's no number in the video card's name, is this card supported?)

The rolauncher pops up with the message:

Code:

Unsupported video card!

There are three possible causes for this error:
1. Your video card is too old
2. You haven't installed the latest available drivers
3. You haven't installed the latest DirectX version

So, I looked around the forums, got Envy and installed the ATI driver, restarted, still got the same message, looked around some more, and entered the command:

Code:

glxinfo | grep -i direct

The reply was:

Code:

Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

In klixon's reply in another thread, he stated that the "direct rendering: No" was the problem. I'm guessing this is the problem for me, along with the fact that my video card might not be supported. Any suggestions?

Also, isn't Wine the Linux version of DirectX?
