I have an AMD HD Radeon 6850. I thought I had set everything up just fine on Ubuntu 11.10 but I keep getting an error that I have an outdated graphics card, which doesn't have shader model 3.

I think I've narrowed it down to the OS not recognizing the graphics card for what it is (FYI I have looked it up and the 6850 is shader model 5.0). I've also looked and looked for answers but Google hasn't been very helpful in this area.

Please let me know what you think.

I followed the instructions provided here:

http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Oneiric_Installation_Guide#Installing_Catalyst_Manually_.28from_AMD.2FATI.27s_site.29

But to no avail. Any pointers are very much appreciated.

Before we can actually help you please answer the following questions:
- 32 bit or 64 bit OS
- wine version
- what did you install through winetricks, did you get errors (logs!)
- did you install DRI to force_enable_s3tc?
- did you google or search the forums for your problem?
- can you play other games through wine?
- whatever else you think could be of use

The output of the glxinfo command.
You are using the proprietary driver, right?
