I added nopat to my boot line, and now the fonts are working perfectly! Try it and let me know.
Ubuntu 10.4, Wine 1.3.1, Ati Radeon HD 4850, ATI Catalyst 10.8
adding nopat to my kernel line in /boot/grub/grub.conf didn't change anything. Fonts are still garbled.
I believe editing grub.conf directly won't work in recent versions of Ubuntu. It gets overwritten on reboot.
To add nopat to grub, open a console and edit /etc/default/grub sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nopat"
Save and exit, then run: sudo update-grub
Adding nopat to grub this way worked for me
ATI catalyst 10.7 and 10.8 (tried both, they both work) ATI 5750 Wine 1.3.1 Kernel 2.6.32-24 Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit)
If that doesn't fix it, perhaps the workaround only works for 5000 series cards? Can anyone with a 4000 series confirm if the nopat workaround works?
