IE6 on AMD64 Ubuntu

[CyberNerd]

Sadly I need IE6.

At home I have IE6 running on 32bit Ubuntu no problems.

I installed latest wine in a dchroot environment on AMD64 Dapper and it appears to installed fine

except I'm getting:

 

X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
 Major opcode of failed request:  143 (GLX)
 Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
 Serial number of failed request:  17
 Current serial number in output stream:  18

 

Suggesting something to do with GLX graphics drives. I get the same error when running glxgears in dchroot. I have 64bit ATI fglrx drivers installed.

TIA.

Any pointers? Normally I'd make sure the correct graphics kernel module whas installed - but how does this work in dchroot with a 64bit kernel? I'm not too keen on downgrading to 32bit as everything except wine is fine.

I used this script to configure my 32bit chroot.

However that specific error is caused when you don't have OpenGL support working.

indeed. Thanks, I installed

  sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx 

and it all works now.
