Hi,

i'm working on Debian, here I got playonlinux installed, 3D openGL Support (tested with superTux :D in openGL mode).

I want to play SC2 again here (some days ago I had 32bit installed, there everything worked fine). Today I installed Debian64bit, now I receive after installation, that I have to reinstall directx again (after clicking on start). I think this can be due to a message that appears after starting gameonlinux: "64bit openGL driver install, but need 32bit".

Here my problem is that I cannot select 64bit AMD driver installation, cause the Catalyst driver automatically selects the 64bit driver.

Any ideas for my 2 Problems/ or perhaps, it is the same :D
Thanx mates!

32bit libraries can be installed along with 64bit ones and the 64bit driver.
(and "3D OpenGL" is sort of rendundant ;) )

Of course I can, but how can I do this?

The amd linux driver gives me no choice of 32/64bit. It installs the 64bit version direclty.

If you mean only the opengl lib, what is the exact name of the file I have to install via apt?

OpenGL is the API implemented by many different libraries, and when we say "32bit OpenGL library", like in the warning, it means anyone of them, not a library that would be called "opengl".
I don't know how you can install the AMD 32bit libraries on 64bit systems, I thought Catalyst installed both automatically...

Last time that I installed ATI drivers, it gave me a choice to install the libraries with it during the install, though, that was last year, so installing CCC might have changed.
