[Wine] YET ANOTHER world of warcraft help-a-noob

[futuresiinz]

okay well i've been fighting to get wow to work the past few days...i am a complete linux noob running ubuntu 8.10(intrepid)...after many issues installing i finally got the game installed and booting up however when i get in game i deal with massive glitching and screen tearing i set all screen tear reduction options in wow and have read several possible fixes but i have insufficient privliidges to modify most of the files...i dont want to graphically log in as root because of the risks i've heard of with that. if anyone has anything that could help me i would greatly appriciate it...my computer is a toshiba satellite a215 with a ATI radeon in it for a graphics processor
