The issue is that Generals uses the pci id of the graphics card to find out which capatiblities it has. This is completely broken behavior because there are capatiblity flags in Direct3D which the game could read with IDirect3D9::GetCaps. Henri reported that Generals is broken in windows too when you have a shiny new nvidia card because nvidia changed the number scheme and Generals thinks it is running on a really ancient card and disables vital rendering.
That's copy protection. Generals doesn't run without a proper no-cd. The issue I mentioned was with newer nVidia card having lower PCI IDs than the older ones. That's only an issue once you're actually in the game though.
