Got one of these in my laptop, and would like to get hardware 3d support so I can play WoW over wine!

I've tried the ATI drivers off the site and had a look at the DRI project, but none seem to work!

here is my fglrxinfo
Code:
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.2.1)

and my lspci
Code:
0000:01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 583                           5

and some lsmod action
Code:
fglrx                 439168  7
agpgart                34792  2 fglrx,ati_agp

When i try and run the DRI installer for the R200 chipsets i get the following...
Code:
Installing files:
        DRI XFree86 modules...done
        kernel modules...done
        Copying extra files...done

Updating configuration:
        Removing old kernel module "radeon"...done
        Inserting new kernel module "radeon"...ERROR

and the log shows
Code:
WARNING: Error inserting drm (/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-686/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.ko): Cannot allocate memory
FATAL: Error inserting radeon (/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-686/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

and dmesg reveals

so, any ideas? :)

yeah, the 2d works fine, i want 3d acceleration that the ATI drivers do not support.

i edited the xorg, it wasn't generated
 
turns out my card is a 9100 after all...

trust me, i've tried lots of different ways of doing things - generating, editing, new kernels...
and you can put those rolleyes and bold text away - ati state on their site that they don't support 3D for the 9100 IGP, AND the opengl file is named 9X00_no_hardware_support.so

Caution: This software driver provides 2D support only for the ATI Radeon® 9100 IGP and ATI Radeon® 9100 PRO IGP.
