x1600 on MBP 2,2 3D issues

I am on the above mentioned computer and I am having trouble getting 3D to work well in wine.

Specifically I am trying to run Morrowind in wine: if it runs in fullscreen then i get vsync issues (but it loads to the main menu) and if it runs in a window then I get garbage and the window locks up.

I am on the latest xf86-video-ati drivers. I tried the xf86-video-radeonhd for much the same result.

The information about what I shoudl be using seems a little contradictory at times so I am hoping you can all put me straight.

What steps can I take (drivers, configs etc) to get 3D working well for me?

Xorg:

Section "Module"
    Load  "dri2"
    Load  "extmod"
    Load  "glx"
    Load  "dbe"
    Load  "dri"
    Load  "drm"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier        "Card0"
    Driver            "radeon"
    VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
    BoardName    "M56P [Radeon Mobility X1600]"
    BusID            "PCI:1:0:0"
    Option          "AccelMethod" "exa"
    Option           "DRI" "on"
    Option        "ColorTiling" "on"
    Option        "AGPMode"    "8"
    Option        "EnablePageFlip" "on"
EndSection

Re: x1600 on MBP 2,2 3D issues

I too am noticing much pain in running OpenGL games under wine.  I have an R350 (9800 AIW) which isn't too far behind your radeon.  I would suggest reverting back to xorg-server 1.6.x and related deps and see if that helps.

Grab these from schlunix.org/archlinux/extra/os/x86_64/
(or ../extra/os/i686/ if you're 32 bit... and )

xf86-input-evdev-2.2.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
ati-dri-7.5.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
xf86-video-ati-6.12.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
libgl-7.5.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
xf86-video-vesa-2.2.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
mesa-7.5.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
xorg-server-1.6.3.901-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

cd into the directory where you downloaded them, and install with

# pacman -Rd xf86-input-evdev
# pacman -U xf86-input-evdev-2.2.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
...and so on

for all of the downloaded packages.

Urbanterror (win32) goes from 2fps to about 50 when I did that.

Also, on a side note:  I haven't used an xorg.conf since 1.5, and it has ran reasonably well since then.   Try renaming your xorg.conf to something else temporarily and starting X, see if that improves the situation.
