Graphic driver problem

[BobbeMalle]

hi guys,
i'm writing my first post in this community totally drunk, so pls forgive me for everything...
anyway, my problem is that i can't find a stable graphic configuration for my hard/soft ware...
here is my main problem:

basically i can see through wall, that's not that bad but not what i want...
btw, i'm running a kind of old version of Ubuntu (8.04 Hardy LTS) due to my graphic board (later versions of ubuntu does not support ati driver for my graphic board(ati radeon x1600)).
i tried almost all combination of graphic configuration and i can fix the problem in the "base mod" but when i play the After Shock mod the game goes totally random (sometimes it works sometimes i can see through the map)....

i totally donno where to find a soltion,
pls give me an help

i probably forgot to write something importan... so if u miss some details just ask me(tomorrow i'll be sober!)!

thanks in advance,
Bobbe

If, randomly changing OpenArena video parameters in baseoa, you managed to find a working configuration... maybe you may try to make the game re-create the q3config.cfg file in the aftershock folder (under DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Homepath]your "homepath" folder)... by deleting it or renaming it, e.g. changing its extension, then launching the game. This way, aftershock should inherit all options (including video options) from baseoa again.

PS: I've got a similar graphic card, but under Windows, and do not experience such kind of problem.
