Upon start of C&C Generals, screen goes black then nothing. The resolution after was degraded to 800x600. I followed instructions on Winehq.org to install, no-cd crack was applied successfully (before it asked for CD). I am running a 1Ghz PC with 512Mb Sdram and an Ati Radeon 7000 with 64Mb. System is Ubuntu Studio 8.04, portuguese language. I attach error results below... I run program by console, "wine (location/generals.exe). Worldbuilder.exe produces no results whatsoever.

I tried running in virtual desktop mode 800x600 with same result. Main screen is at 1250x940. Can't find video driver for this card. Thanks. Any more suggestions?

Attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I got a response from the AppDB Team as follows:
"Subject: RE: Generals doesn't launch
You are using an old Ati Radeon 7000 to play Generals. Unfortunately I guess this won't work not even natively on a windows system. I know the game and it requires a far more powerful video card. Apart from this you have to make sure that you have 3D support under Linux for it. I suggest buying an nVidia Geforce FX 5200 or something like that, it should be enough to play generals. You could get a cheap one from ebay for example.
Best regards. The AppDB team http://appdb.winehq.org/"
I think they must be mistaken because I have played Generals on a 32Mb graphics card on Windows 98, and XP, no problems. With only 256Mb DRam. I attach the xorg.conf file.
Thanks for your fast response. Jeremy
