CVS Cedega & WoW: "World of Warcraft was unable to start up 3D acceleration"

[EnderTheThird]

I followed the HOWTO guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=56270

But I keep getting the error, "World of Warcraft was unable to start up 3D acceleration." whenever I try to start the game. If I try to run the game directly from my Windows drive (as opposed to running it from my Linux HDD, where I copied my Windows installation), then I get sound and everything, but the visuals are a mess. I can't see the menu so I can't do anything, so I just exit.

Here's my xorg.conf:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.

I have the proprietary ATI drivers installed (the ones release a few weeks ago) for my ATI Radeon 9800 AIW. I'm really at a loss here. I have no idea what I have to do to get this thing working. I've looked through several guides but still can't make any progress.

Try copy the Wow CDs onto your linux Hard-disc and install it from there.

hi there. i got the very same problem, wow telling me that it was unable to start the 3d mode. i only get this when trying to start it with the set gxApi "opengl" flag in config.wtf... d3d runs way 2 slow for me though so i'm quite depressed about this...

i've been reading alot lately about this issue and it seems that those problems only occur since some patchlevel of wow, i guess opengl problems started with 1.3, then again with 1.5.1 (there seems to be a solution for this on the transgaming forums, a libopengl32.so fix for cedega 4.3.2).

as of now with 1.6.1 i can't get it workin as it seems, though using the latest cedega 4.4.1. cedegas d3d emulation is not a solution for me so i would really appreciate any comments on how u can get wow 1.6.1 workin with cedega, or wine and opengl support...
