Are you trying to play the original Wolfenstein 3D or the new Return to
Castle Wolfenstein? I have RTCW running great on an nvidia geforce2go.

Check your /usr/lib/libGL.so link. Is it pointing to the right glx
driver for your ATI card?

Same with /usr/lib/libGLcode.so.1.

I haven't worked with the ATI cards so I don't the specific libraries
that should be there, but the libGL links have been the keys for getting
all 3D OpenGL games to work for me.

Best Regards,
Keith
