I'm with an Ati X600. Installing the Ati closed driver it' very simple in Ubuntu, that's present in the repository. I play easily Doom3 in my LinuxBox, true 3D, very smooth.
I tried that, under Ubuntu 6.10. Installing the proprietary ATI driver from the repositories was never successful for me, maybe you could explain a bit more. I take it for granted that it wasn't just selecting the ATI driver in Synaptic and to restart the X-Server. ;-)

What's the problem?
I have to reply to *all* the messages by editing my past messages?
As i understand i have to edit *only* if i want to add something to my past messages, not for reply.
To the admin/moderator: that's right?
In the forum all over the world, AFAIK, the reply it's always a new single message. If there you have a different rule, i apologize.

One of the wine devs is a System Shock II fan, and is apparently working to get the dark engine supported better.
Cool! :-D

Another option is actually VMWare, believe it or not. Version 5 and higher started implementing experimental 3D acceleration, and while it's not stable in the existing release, the new VMWare Fusion has been demoed running 3D Mark just fine on a Windows virtual machine on both Mac and Linux hosts. New processor-level virtualization technology combined with a passthrough Direct3D device means that windows games could be virtualized with very little performance penalty.
Yes, i know about this possibility, but i never tried a VMware system. I'll try it as last chance, beacause to use a Virtualized Windows, you need a complete Windows license.
IFAIK the new KVM technology in Linux kernel will support a free and good virtualisation technology rather then VMware.
Thanks a lot for sharing.

If you want to add to the thread and you have made the last post in the thread then you should edit that last post. If you post is not the last in the thread then you can make a new one.
Simply put: please don't make multiple posts in a row.

Ok, now it's clearer, thanks. That's the first time in all my life that i use a web forum with this strange policy, but no problem.
Thanks for your patience, sorry for my intrusiveness and rudeness.
Bye.

Alright, back to the topic. You wanted to talk about the ATI driver installation.

I don't know if this is OT, but:
(

It's very very simple: you install the driver from the repos, then you type from the shell:
sudo aticonfig --initial
sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
Then you reboot immediatly with:
sudo shutdown -r now
After that you can check if your 3D driver it's on by typing:
fglrxinfo
Voilà :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
[beware when you change your X conf, i'm not responsible for any damage, follow the guide, it's very well done and simple!]
Anyway, i can play all the 3D games from ID software, but i still can't play Thief2 :-(
That's a pity.:tsktsk:

Ok, thanks Vigil.

Thanks for posting your method, Mazzortock! Unfortunately this did not work for me either. Maybe I should try this on a fresh installation of Ubuntu - however, I did reset the xorg.conf prior to testing your approach with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg". Very strange.

I'm not sure what you mean by that last statement...Doom 3 runs natively on Ubuntu Linux, you don't need to run it under wine. I have played installed and played it a few times now, it runs better in linux than in windows.
I confirm: on Linux, Doom3 run better than Windows (on the same machine), with about 20 fps more.
And also for this i'm very very happy about TDM Project :cheeky: :cheeky:
