Hi, I'm very new to Linux but so far I love it. The only problem I've had so far is with Wine...I'm trying to play Day of Defeat out of steam (basically counterstrike same engine) although, when I try to run it I get the following error: choose pixel format failed and then the game restarts and opts to use software mode not openGL but in that format I only get around 1-2 fps :(
Oh i'm using fglrx by the way and thanks for any help i'd really appreciate it.

Ok, so I heard to type glxinfo and I got:
name of display: :0.0
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: No
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
etc...

And apparently it won't work with the glx version 1.2 only with 1.3 and up?? Is there another driver I can download that will supply this? I'm very confused please help.
