I tried to play the Cogs demo, but if i start it wine says:

err:winediag:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo Direct rendering is disabled, most likely your OpenGL drivers haven't been installed correctly
fixme:d3d_caps:wined3d_guess_vendor Received unrecognized GL_VENDOR "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc."

Is this "normal" or can i do anything against it?

Are you using a 64-bit distribution? If so, do you have the 32-bit drivers installed as well?

Well i'm using Ubuntu 9.10 64bit and i guess i haven't installed the 32bit drivers.
How can i do this? I'm using the xorg-edgers ppa for my 64bit drivers, can i get the 32bit version from them as well?

Tell wine to fix their GL vendor check.

[adamk]

While the fact that wine doesn't recognize the vendor string is certainly an issue, the lack of direct rendering is probably a bigger issue :-)

As for how to install the 32-bit drivers, I'm not sure. I don't use Ubuntu, and have always compiled and installed the drivers from source.

We don't know if he has direct rendering or not.

Wine is known to report this incorrectly.

[Boerkel]

Well i'm using compiz here with my Mobility Radeon HD 2600 and the radeon driver, so direct rendering should work.
That means the problem is probably something in wine. But i don't know what it is and if there is any workaround or something to fix it.

Having direct rendering for 64-bit apps (such as compiz) is not the same has having direct rendering for 32-bit apps, such as wine.

Check glxinfo for direct rendering's status.

Check glxinfo for direct rendering's status.

That also doesn't mean much if the glxinfo is 64-bit. It will only give the DRI status for 64-bit applications, not 32-bit.

Let's check this first, though... Does /usr/lib32/dri/r600_dri.so exist?
