This is a link for general installation of WOW under Wine on several Linux distributions including Ubuntu.

And there is this wonderful Ubuntu HowTo which contains some of the same information as the link above.

WOW LInux Cedega

This is a commercial package based on Wine and purports to work under Linux.


It cost $5 a month with $15 up front. Also there doesn't seem to be a way of testing without paying first.

WOW Under Linux

Still trying to get WOW to run under Linux.

There is a new driver for my ATI Radeon® Xpress 1150 Graphics card.

Here are some instructions for installing WOW under Ubuntu.

It seems that I need to have direct rendering.

The newest driver does not support DRI. Is DRI direct rendering?

DRI stands for Direct Rendering Infrastructure. It allows software to get around X11 and write directly to the graphics card.

The current ATI driver does support direct Rendering.

glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes

I am going to assume that the one just released does also. It would make little sense if it doesn't.

OK, I am now ready to install the newest ATI driver on my portable.
