the ubuntu forum doesn't like very long code
that's why you have to see my code on another website

Do you use the CVS version or the paid version? There's some important Dll files in the paid version which the CVS version doesn't offer. That could be the problem.

i've got the paid version
(the Debian Package in fact)

the last version of cedega (4.2.1)

Dunno if it will solve your problem, however for cedega I had to put this in /etc/sysctl.conf:
vm.legacy_va_layout = 1

There are other options, it's all in the cedega README.

How I got it working:

First, some hardware specs for background purposes. I'm running Ubuntu Hoary 5.04 on a P4 2.8, Abit DuraMAX AA8 motherboard, 512 DDR2 RAM, with an Nvidia GeForce 6600 PCI Express video card. I had previously installed nvidia-glx using Synaptic.

1. Installed Cedega 4.3

2. Copied the first WoW installation CD to Desktop\cd1

3. $cedega WoW.exe from within cd1 to start the WoW installer.

4. Installed WoW just as if in Windows. *(Swapping CDs worked fine for me)

5. Downloaded the WoW updates from http://www.blizzhackers.com/viewtopic.php?t=261409 and manually installed them.

6. $cedega WoW.exe from within the Wine WoW installation directory.

7. WoW updated itself to the latest 1.31 build.

From this point, everything has been working great. I hope this helps some of you. If you need help, let me know.
