HELP - can't start call of duty

[theOrange]

When i try to start call of duty using wine (installed with loki installer) it fails with this message:

X Error of failed request: GLXUnsupportedPrivateRequest
Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 17 (X_GLXVendorPrivateWithReply)
Serial number of failed request: 1371
Current serial number in output stream: 1371

I am running breezy on a thinkpad t42 with a radeon 7500 mobile. I have just finished tweaking the xorg.conf/driconf and now get about 1500 fps after only getting 250. However i can't start COD

I'm using the DRI/radeon driver included with breezy. I also have wine 0.9.3.

Any ideas???

[Mr_Grieves]

First off, upgrade to Wine 0.9.5.

First off, upgrade to Wine 0.9.5.

I would like to but 0.9.5 doesn't work as well in MeetingMaker and it's a work machine first. :(

This shouldn't matter should it? On wineHQ it says COD went gold with .9.

Any specific reason to upgrade wine?

[Mr_Grieves]

Well, I don't keep track on all the changes they make in every release.. so I'm having a hard time to argue why not to upgrade beside that it might solve you're problem, hehe.

I guess you could try 0.9.5 and if there is no diffrence, you could downgrade to 0.9.3.

I search the net and found a Cedega/CoD howto.. if you can call it that.

Else from that.. and the obvious google/winehq searches..
Make sure you CD to the binary first, and second do a 'wine game.exe'.

Thanks. All i can find on google so far has to do with the way the dri/radeon driver return the glx version string. I think it is return 1.2 while it expects 1.3 even though it seems the driver supports the 1.3 extension anyway.

At least this is what i can find so far from this google search...

I found this.. suggesting it would be a texture rending bug..
http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@flightgear.org/msg36910.html

Abit of a clue perhaps:
http://appdb.winehq.org/admin/adminTestResults.php?sub=view&iTestingId=683

and this.. from: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2005.08.txt
Search on "GLXUnsupportedPrivateRequest" on that page..


I downloaded a trial version of a Japanese RPG (Vagrants from Studio
e.go, at http://210.138.120.57/download/extra/vagrants_trial.exe), and
tried to run it under Wine. This is a self-extracting archive, and it
decompresses correctly, but when the main executable (vagrants.exe) is
run, I get the following error:

trace:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImpl_ActiveRender making new buffer
X Error of failed request: GLXUnsupportedPrivateRequest
Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (X_GLXVendorPrivate)
Serial number of failed request: 9274
Current serial number in output stream: 9276

I could pinpoint the exact location of the call that fails. The line is
dlls/wined3d/device.c, line 5592, at the call to glXMakeCurrent() in
IWineD3DDeviceImpl_ActiveRender. But I am at a loss a how to fix this on
my own. The function aborts the program instead of returning an error,
as the code intends to check, so it cannot even recover from it. From
what I googled, this seems to be some missing functionality of my X
server (in Fedora 4), but there is no more information on how to fix
this. Could somebody explain this error in more detail, and what can I
do to aid in diagnosing or fixing it?

Using latest Wine CVS (at 2005/07/29).

and the answer:


It looks like the X server you are using doesn't support the OpenGL related function
glXMakeCurrent(), can you send me the output of glxinfo?

and the answer:

Thanks for doing some googling. That seems to be close although the opcode my failure is 143:17 so i'm not sure it is rendering?

Arghhh! It took me all of last night to get my fps just up to 1500 - i'm not ready for wine debugging! LOL

[theOrange]

I upgraded to 0.9.5 and now i at least get an error message. It says my video card might not support features required for the game. I have a Radeon 7500 Mobility on a ThinkPad T42.
So my question is: can this card play COD or do i just not have it configured correctly?

Has anyone played COD with this card? I have heard people playing it with less so i think i might not have it configured correctly.

Any help would be great!

Your video card appears to be missing one or more features required to run Call of Duty.

You should install the latest drivers for your video card, being sure to uninstall the old drivers first. If you already have the latest drivers, you should completely uninstall the drivers and then reinstall them. This fixes most problems. If the game still doesn't work, it may be that your video card does not have the minimum features required. Please check the readme for more information, including a list of supported video cards.

[Mr_Grieves]

Do you have the newest driver? My and friends experience is that ATIs Linux support is abit .. less good.
