I am useing Wine 0.9.45 and Ubuntu 7.04 how do I get the OpenGL to work? I am trying to run Googl's Sketchup and requires that OpenGL work. How do I get OpenGL to work in wine?
I'm not sure how *buntu bundles its wine packages, but in the Debian version, OpenGL support has been separated out into a separate package called libwine-gl. If Ubuntu uses the same structure, you'll need to install that package.
If it isn't the same, or if you're not using the default packages, then I don't know how to advise you.
I was also having problems with wine and opengl. My fglrx says direct rendering is enabled and my glxgears give me 890 fps. But when I try to enable opengl in cs it goes insanely slow but software mode works on it. Im not sure if this is a wine related problem though. I downloaded BZflag and it completely dosent work. It goes so slow. AHH I have no idea what to do
Wine from the extra wine repository for Ubuntu works for me with OpenGL apps. No need to install a separate package, "wine" does the job. I have an Nvidia card.
The extra repository I referred to tracks the new wine releases pretty closely (packages released a day or two after official wine releases). You can find out how to install it here:
