I need help with starting a game in a new xsession

[Mogurijin]

Hello, I'm fairly new to Ubuntu (about a week now), but I need some help getting Guild Wars (or any game for that matter) running in a new X session. My problem is the X session starts up then just sits there for while. When I hit CTRL+ALT+Backspace, I see the following error in my terminal:

FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.

I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn, WINE 0.9.49, and the closed souce flrgx ati driver ( I don't know if this is causing any issues). Also, I don't know if it is the afore mentioned font thing, or some other error (I seemed to have fixed the other errors :)).

And here is my script:
#!/bin/sh
#uncomment if launching from console session
#sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
#KDE use this instead
#sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop

# Launches a new X session on display 3. If you don't have an Nvidia card
# take out the "& nvidia-settings --load-config-only" part
X :3 -ac

# Goto game dir (modify as needed)
cd "/media/hdb1/Guild Wars/"

# Forces the system to have a break for 2 seconds, X doesn't launch instantly
sleep 2

# Launches game (modify as needed)
DISPLAY=:3 WINEDEBUG=-all wine "D:/Gw.exe"

And my font section in my xorg.conf file:
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
# path to defoma fonts
FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
EndSection

Hope that wasn't too long, I just wanted to be specific :)

Well, I left it in the new Xserver to see if this Font issue would actually fix itself because I new it removed some things from another list (xorg.conf I think, but I can't be sure). However, nothing. Just the same thing I've been getting (black and white checkered background with an x cursor), even after sitting there for over two minutes.

As to be expected, when I use CTRL+ALT+Backspace, I see the terminal. However, instead of canceling (CRTL+c) I waited for about one minute and got:


Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.


However, no matter how long I sit in this new Xserver a window never comes up, and this error only appears after being in my old xserverfor a little bit with out canceling the script.

Help would be nice. And I hope this is just a newb problem because I've only seen one or two other people have this problem, which never got fixed. I'm wondering if my ATI drivers are to blame?

EDIT: Also, I'm not using a 3d desktop environment such as beryl, compiz, or compiz fusion.

I'm getting the same problem, ATI 9800 with Envy drivers.

What are envy drivers? Is that the flrgx stuff? Also if it is the ATI drivers, anyone know how to fix this problem?
