Hello Moodang!

Sorry for my late answer. The E-Mail Sytem from my Provider has pulled your message to the Spamfolder...

I will try to explain how do i upgrade the dri and glx-Driver (Sorry for my bad english):

In the beginning i have to shout out a warning: As i upgrade my System, many errors and warnings are displayed. Most of them are harmless, but you allways should know what this warnings are about. I give no garanty for satisfaction. My System runs very fine with the new dri and glx-packages (and i have allready turned it to German back). If you are German, you can look for a description at this side: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/144343/

I'm not experienced with dpkg! I use Synaptic... So i try to explain in a non Synaptic way:

Due the installation you should NEVER turn the System of or Reboot!
1. DEinstall the OLD dri-Package
2. Install the the new glx-package (Because there are dependencies on other packages, maybe some other packages must be updated to *1. Synaptic marks the packges to upgrade automatically, thats why i had the System-language in english)
3. Install the NEW dri-package
4. Logout
5. Login

If the X-Server starts it looks good ;-) Before you try running wine, run the glxinfo command. If glxinfo shows at the end a configuration-table, it looks very good.

*1
The updated packages are:
libc6 (2.6.1-1ubuntu10) to 2.7-5
libc6-dev (2.6.1-1ubuntu10) to 2.7-5
libc6-i686 (2.6.1-1ubuntu10) to 2.7-5
libgl1-mesa-dri (6.5.1-0.6) to 7.0.2-3
libgl1-mesa-glx (6.5.1-0.6) to 7.0.2-3
and maybe some other...

WITH NO GARANTY but with best wishes
