Cedega Issue (xFree86 search rather than Xorg)

[Mirth]

I'm trying to run a game with Cedega, and it's fine until the last line, when it quits out:

Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".

As we all may know, Ubuntu has Xorg instead of Xfree86. Is there anything I can enter so it looks for Xorg instead?

Are there any other solutions to the problem?

Much thanks.

What video card do you have, and do you have 3d acceleration enabled? Are there any other errors as well?

The reference to Xfree probably due to Xorg being based on it.

I have an ATI Radeon 9600.

There are no other errors, and I don't know how to enable 3D Acceleration.

you'd have to install your videocard drivers, since it's ati you'll be looking for the fglrx drivers in synaptic. Once you've grabbed those you'll have to modify your xorg.conf to read fglrx instead of ati, and then restart X.

try here for a How-to, (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=408111) there are other posts as well. I don't have any ati hardware so I have no experience setting one up, but the How-to should get you going :)

Well, you'll need to install the ATI drivers to get 3D hardware acceleration, DON'T install the ones from their website, it won't work. Look for my post in this thread http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76846&highlight=slow
to get some how to's on how to install the drivers. When you have done that, or if you already have, you can check if you have 3D hardware acceleration with:
fglrxinfo
If it says MESA anywhere in the output the 3D hardware acceleration from your ATI card is not being used. Good luck.

I installed my drivers via Synaptic.

I'll go over your guys's stuff though.
