There is no 3d acceleration for your card yet

XFree86 4.2 (or later versions) includes 3D acceleration for the following graphics hardware:

ATI Radeon, supported on Intel x86, AMD and Alpha:

* Radeon SDR AGP
* Radeon DDR AGP
* Radeon 32MB SDR PCI (Alpha-based systems)
* Radeon 7000, M6 (RV100)
* Radeon 7200 (R100)
* Radeon 7500, M7 (RV200)
* Radeon 8500, 9100 (R200)
* Radeon 9000, M9 (RV250)


You will just have to wait

Ok thanx for the info... So that 3d acceleration is only to play games...

You might be able to play games without 3d acceleration.

This is the only video game I have ever played in my whole life and it works fine without 3d acceleration.

But for big games like the ones you probably want you would just have to try it and see

The last time I tried Half-Life in WineX it ran ok.

I got around 30-40fps, usually get 40-50 in windows, but thats with the default config file

and with an old version of WineX
