Linux Intel GMA 4500 Gaming - Flatout 1 vs 2

System:

Ubuntu 10.10
Linux 2.6.38-02063807-generic
xf86-video-intel 2.14.0
Mesa3D 7.11-devel
WINE 1.3.23

update: for WINE 1.3.22 we need to disable GL_EXT_texture_sRGB_decode OpenGL extension as Intel driver has bug with this extension. Disable this extension by the following command before run the game from termnal:
export MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE=-GL_EXT_texture_sRGB_decode

For WINE 1.3.23 and up use:
export MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE="-GL_EXT_texture_sRGB_decode -GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex -GL_ARB_map_buffer_range"

Or

put this command in .gnomerc or .profile file in the HOME directory, so that we do not need to put this command every time we launch the game.


Intel Dual Core 2.20 GHz
RAM 3 GB
Intel GMA 4500 256 MB

Download the stable driver from here
http://www.mediafire.com/?wjvur2cz5js8pvo
or Please use this one, if you have X.Org X Server 1.10 or greater
installer: http://www.mediafire.com/?6xht9ib0d0190f1
http://www.mediafire.com/?fn8aloja2nhdxp7

to check X.Org X Server version put the following on terminal
Xorg -version

please do a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install python-libxml2 gtk2-engines-pixbuf '

in the terminal before trying to use the installer or compile from source

also please remove old drm and kms library. To find them expose 'locate libdrm' in the terminal. Usually they are in /usr/lib and /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ directory. So remove them by

sudo rm * /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdrm*
sudo rm * /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libkms*
sudo rm * /usr/lib/libdrm*
sudo rm * /usr/lib/libkms*

sorry for the inconvenience

I canr get any games working with wine whatsoever.

I did manage to install the video drivers you supplied. and thanks for those by the way.

[imamdxl]

@TheDarkFenrir native games working!, please try simple games like Mania drive and Tile Racer first

Thank you

[emeanyack]

does it lag in full screen? why did you run it in windowed mode like you did for amnesia before?

[imamdxl]

@emeanyack in fullscreen the resolution is same so same performance. windowed mode to show it is running on Linux Desktop

[TheDarkFenrir]

@imamdxl After I fix my system drivers, well, get them working correctly, since they only work after my pc enters sleep mode and wakes up -_-

[TheDarkFenrir]

Oh and one more thing, Is there a different driver for the Intel GMA 4500M or does the x4500 drivers work for all of them?
