ATI Catalyst 8.7 / 8.8 + WINE OpenGL. Solution to the problem.

As I already wrote in one of my past topics , the new proprietary driver for AMD ATI video cards added many improvements, but broke compatibility with OpenGL in WINE. Because of this, I rolled back to driver 8.4, in which native games in OpenGL flickered when Compiz was on, but games worked through WINE. And recently, on the forum.ubuntu.ru user Flace suggested a solution. So.

If anyone needs a certificate, what kind of Virtual command is this - please go to the search, I'm not going to make an advanced manual out of each topic, sorry.

It works for me on ATI X1300. I repeat that native OpenGL games with Compiz enabled do not flicker if their resolution matches the system one.

Important UPD And try to set not 1280, but 1281, for example. :-) It gave me a stunning effect - the game stopped flickering when the compise was on. In general, the width of the virtual resolution is slightly larger than the physical one.
