Hi all, I just wanted to post a success...
I have an ati hd2900xt and I am running hardy. I installed wine to try and use some of my windows games (tf2, ut3) and nothing was working. I tried everything short of regestry hacks. Then I came across this easy guide
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide
and bam! new drivers... that didn't do it.. :(
I was about to give up, but the i noticed as I looked through the settings once more, than wine was emulating xp, I thought to myseld hmmm, so I switched it to emulate vista... and BOOM! the clouds parted and the heavens opened up and I am now able to play tf2!!! (among others)
*I guess my post is to show, if you can't access steam and your playing on a newer ati card, try and switch to emulating vista*
