some wine run programs crash with backtrace pointing to fglrx-dri.so
Hello...
I've always had a good time running windows apps on Linux with wine until now...
I have a radeon hd 3870 which uses the latest version of fglrx as downloaded from the ati website.
I tried running Command and Conquer Red Alert and Microsoft Flight Simulator WWII Europe, but both crash miserably without even really starting, and give a backtrace that points to fglrx-dri.so. Is there anything I can do about this, or is the only cure NVidia or no accel?

I've never used wine but I do have an ATI Radeon card and use the fglrx driver but don't have fglrx-dri.so on my system. I think I needed to disable that in the xorg.conf file. In any event there a loads of threads about this issue on this site. Just do a search for them. I have never had any problems with the fglrx driver but, as I said, I don't use wine. 3D acceleration works flawlessly so I would suspect you have a minor configuration problem that a quick search should sort out.
cheers,

Sorry to bug you again, but I can't seem to find any of these threads about anything like that... :P
Can you recommend any (or just recommend what to search for and where :I)

On the "Main Menu" of LinuxQuestions the 2nd item down is called "Search". Click on that and type something like fglrx or fglrx dri
You find you have a lot of hits.
Do the same in google and you'll have even more hits.

When searching, I all I find is people with issues making their fglrx work at all, enabling it, or fixing their damaged X11 server. I don't see anything about fixing fglrx-dri.so so that it will make some applications more stable or anything. I'm really sorry if I'm just being a noob and not being able to find anything :I
googling fglrx dri turned up something like 17,000 hits. You can narrow it down but specifying your distro. I'm pretty sure that there is an issue with fglrx and dri but you are free to follow your own views on the matter. In my xorg.conf I do load the dri module but I don't have the fglrx-dri.so file on my system. See if you can find out where that file comes from and try to get rid of it. Trying googling as above but something like ati fglrx-dri.so problem.
More than that I cannot do.
Have fun.

I have located my fglrx_dri.so files... /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so and /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so. I'll do some research editing my xorg.conf and such to disable it.

AHA! fglrx-dri.so only seems to appear in the later versions! My slackware, running fglrx 8.12 seems to work just fine and doesn't appear to have any fglrx-dri.so or any of that crap. Only problem is, when I run the installer script for 8.12, it is confused as to whether my kernel is current or not DX
