Ubuntu Problems... yeah

[Suh Dude]

I need, erm, help with Ubuntu since I'm a Linux newb.

So anyways, I've installed Wine into Ubuntu. I try to open World of Warcraft with Wine with Terminal, and it works for a second and it dissapears, showing wierd errors.

I also have a screen resolution problem. Every time I set my desktop to 1440X900, it's all screwed up and stuff.

Help? :scared:

As far as I know wine isn't designed to run games, just normal windows applications.

Right here it says it can run World of Warcraft and other games too sufficiently.

It even says it can run Steam with some bugs.

I think my World of Warcraft is in D3D, how do I make it render in OpenGL?

sorry didn't know that.

Due to problems with D3D mode it's recommended you use opengl mode. After a fresh install of WoW you will need to enable opengl otherwise it will default to using D3D. To enable opengl either append the wine wow.exe command with -opengl ie "wine wow.exe -opengl" or insert SET gxApi "opengl" into wow's Config.wtf file. See the howto for details.

took that from the link you posted ^^
