WOW + CNC3 + ATi Radeon...

I now know where the bug is. It is because my notebook uses an ATi Mobility Radeon X1300. The game freezes after logging into the world, if i paste this in my xorg.conf it works:```
Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800"
Option "UseFastTLS" "off"
Option "KernelModuleParm" "locked-userpages=0"


But the random game crashes still exist. CNC3 runs very slow with these settings (about 5 frames per MINUTE). 

Which entry is responsible for that terrible framerate?   
Do I need it to play WOW or can I delete it?  
How can I avoid these random game crashes?

Best Wishes

Yeah i got the same problem, get the loading screen done. but when it starts to render it hangs.
I'm running Ubuntu 7.04.

Ati Radeon x1400

Help plz, linux n00b here

I have been unable to solve this. There is an issue with some X series cards on ATI's drivers. The problem is the ATI driver reserves a HUGE block of memory space. This causes issues for some Windows games that also want to have access to that memory space.

The only way to fix this is to have ATI fix their drivers to not be such a memory hog, as we simply cannot change how the Windows apps themselves access memory.

The rumor I heard is that ATI is going to open up their drivers, so maybe this means some fixes will get in soon.

If you have this bug your xorg.conf should look like that:
