I finally got a successful installation on Ubuntu with the old Nvidia card I had laying around. My tests indicate the following:

ATi, propietary drivers - Only shadows, no textures
ATi, free drivers - Not working at all (missing 3D capabilities)
nVidia, propietary drivers - Works fine
nVidia, free drivers - Not working at all (missing 3D)
Intel 945 (onboard) - Not working, all I get are spots of colour on the "agree to the EULA" and server selection page, no text, nothing.

Thanks a lot for your help [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I had to tweak the configuration a bit, as enabling HW Texel and HW shaders or Advanced Lightning makes the game really slow and not respond.

One final issue I have is that the game crashes whenever I minimise the window but I can live with that [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Next, I will be installing CentOS alongside, to see what happens [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Has anyone had luck with ATI cards? It's been one thing after another with ATI stuff under linux. Got a 6950. It might be time to buy a nvidia card just for linux *sigh*

I really like ATI but man is their shit broken in linux. I had to buy a cheap nvidia card for my xbmc system since boblight wouldn't work with ATI's closed drivers and the open drivers were too slow for xbmc.

The closest I got was mucked up models someone else had - where the bodies were all wacky looking. I got the models showing up completely black too.
