running Regnum on Kubuntu Hardy Heron with ATI Radeon graphics card

[SilverDrake3]

I would LOVE to have some assistance with this. I've been pulling my hair out for the past couple of days over it.

First of all, I used the installer found at the following thread:

Regnum Online Linux Installer (beta)

It seemed to install alright, but when I went to run it, I got this message:

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

Like I said in the topic, my card is an ATI Radeon.. here are the specs according to lspci

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M76 [Radeon Mobility HD 2600 Series] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Unknown device 3fd5
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10
Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
I/O ports at c000 [size=256]
Memory at fdef0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Expansion ROM at fdec0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3
Capabilities: [58] Express Legacy Endpoint IRQ 0
Capabilities: [a0] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable-

I've seen this problem happening a lot with the NVIDIA cards, but I've seen nothing about ATI Radeon.

It's a brand new computer, so I understand it might not be supported yet... I hope you guys can help me, though.

Thanks,
SD (aka: Amberose)

P.S. I'm only an amateur with Linux, so please be patient with me.

post the output of this please

copy and paste it in a console

Only some of that seemed to work...

want me to get glxinfo now?

[ArcticWolf]

Install the glxinfo. Since you're in kubuntu, just do a:

sudo apt-get install mesa-utils

And run the script again.

I'm also trying something else atm.. Some instructions from this wiki on open source drivers. If it doesn't work, I'll just restore xorg.conf from a backup (again)

EDIT: Nope, that didn't work.

[ArcticWolf]

We found out your problem, the 3D acceleration isn't working. I don't know if Arlick is online, he uses a ATI, so he can help you more than me (I use an nVidia).

Why don't you use the fglrx drivers?

Check this out, it MAY help you: http://www.infoleg.gov.ar/infolegInt.../texact.htm#17

Install those drivers, that should work

The problem is that Mesa doesn't implement all of the OpenGL extensions, which sucks big time and won't let you run the game as far as I know.

[SilverDrake3]

I'll try that.

Too bad I can't read Spanish >.<

Sorry, wrong link :S

Here's the correct one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=423584

Sorry


EDIT: I'll save you some research work:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager
sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
sudo depmod -a

That should install the drivers.

[SilverDrake3]

Hehe, that's okay.
