Im running wine 1.01 and i have Nvidia GeForce 9800GT with Nvidia driver version 185.18.36 on ubuntu jaunty
When i try to run games thru wine, i often get messeges about my videocard having to low memory or that i dont have direct3d, hardware 3d acceleration etc etc...
I have installed many things thru winetricks such as DriectX 9, .NET, VB etc etc

Still Wine doesnt get my videocard drivers...
I even tried to install windows drivers from nvidia into wine, just for the sake of it. It didnt work

Im new to linux and my ubuntu installation is not very old, max 1-2 weeks.
Am i missing something here?
Games like Warcraft III, Fable, Half-Life 2 works allmost... Exept some bad graphics...
But they cant influence the screen resulotion. If Half-Life runs in 800x600 resolution. It will be in a centered window on my desktop with that resulotion, Not full screen...

Warcraft III makes everything around its actual size just black, it doesnt fit the window since it cant affect the desktop resolution.

Please? What am i missing... Some vitual part of my videocard drivers..

I have triedout other versions of the drivers, but this version i have now ( the latest from nvidias website) works most well with ubuntu. But Wine cant get into it


Please help me out!!
