Wine cannot find my graphics card

When I try to play windows games through wine I get the following error:

fixme:d3d_caps:wined3d_guess_card No card selector available for GL vendor 0x4 and card vendor 0000 (using GL_RENDERER "Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300)").

I'm not sure where to start figuring this out, maybe it's a driver problem?
My video card is a ATI card:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Madison [Radeon HD 5000M Series]

I have both intel and ati drivers installed, could that be a problem?

Not much of a gamer myself, but I think you need the proprietary catalyst driver for gaming (some of the 3D acceleration features).

Re: Wine cannot find my graphics card

Not necessarily, the open source radeon driver functions good enough for many games.

seniorsassycat :

using GL_RENDERER "Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe

for some reason wine is using the software rasterer, not hardware accelaration.

run

$ glxinfo | grep renderer

If that also talks about llvm , your grahpics driver is running in softwaremode and you have a driver problem.

If it looks similar to this : OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV770 ,
then you likely need a lib32-driver for the videocard to allow wine to use hardware accelaration.

This is what I see

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Ironlake Mobile 

My laptop has integrated graphics, I've installed xf86-video-ati xf86-video-intel and xf86-video-vesa

Re: Wine cannot find my graphics card

seniorsassycat,

It looks like your PC has switchable Intel and ATI graphics, and currently the Intel graphics are active. To get WINE to use the Intel graphics, add the lib32-intel-dri package as Lone_Wolf was alluding to. That will install 32-bit Intel DRI libraries for 32-bit Windows applications in WINE to use.
