3D acceleration.

[NexusHumanis]

I have been trying to install games in wine, but i keep getting the message "3D acceleration not installed". What can be done about this. Will it have to be installed in wine as well?

Re: 3D acceleration.

Have you got ordinary 3D Acceleration (non Wine) installed?

Re: 3D acceleration.

have you installed the drivers for your graphic card?

Re: 3D acceleration.

I guess not. I am running a clean hardy install all alone on my laptop, and really don't know how to install drivers. Everything has been working pretty much out of the box since install, this is the only problem I have really run into.

It may have correctly detected your graphics chip, depending on what it is.

Open the konsole, and enter

glxgears

Tell us what you see, or post the error output if there are errors.

I did as you said, and came up with this: mads@Mads1laptop:~$ glxgears
7010 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1401.860 FPS
7447 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1489.375 FPS
7236 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1447.142 FPS
7318 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1463.518 FPS
7214 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1442.778 FPS
7188 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1437.562 FPS
7160 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1431.227 FPS
7326 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1465.120 FPS
7271 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1454.095 FPS
7189 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1437.795 FPS
7134 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1426.676 FPS
7180 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1435.885 FPS
7121 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1424.131 FPS

(I had to install it via apt-get first)

Re: 3D acceleration.

Good -- you've got a graphics driver that supports GLX, and it's working. That is 3D acceleration, as far as Linux is concerned.

I think maybe this is a wine video issue, not necessarily a Kubuntu issue (not that I'd weasel out of helping you .... )

I would say Google for "wine 3D" or go see if there's help on the wine forums. There must be something in the wine configuration that must be set up to use 3D in wine.
