I've been trying to get Call of Duty 2 to work in Wine in Ubuntu. It gives me a black screen. So I tried the fix suggested by the wine apphq and downloaded DRIconf. Funny thing is that it can't find my direct rendering device.

"Could not detect any configurable direct-rendering capable devices. DRIconf will be started in expert mode"

When I enter into it in Expert Mode is just errors out anyway.

fglrxinfo gives me:

display: :0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series
OpenGL version string: 3.3.11627 Compatibility Profile Context

That shows me my driver is installed correctl,y right? World of Goo which is Linux native and requires direct rendering works like a charm.

So I'm wondering, is there some other workaround? Is there a bigger issue? Does me running 64-bit affect it at all?
