ATI Drivers 'n' Wine.

[templest]

I'm trying to get WINE working, and it does, with the generic vid drivers.

But once I start using my ATI (Radeon 9200 SE) drivers, as soon as I run anything in WINE the monitor falls asleep, and just stays there. No matter what I do from there on, the only solution is cutting the juice supply to the PC and restarting.

Any ideas as to what the problem is? Is it just with ATI cards or am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks,
templest.

The ATI drivers are not very well supported...even with wine ;)

Have you tried switching to the console with Ctrl+Alt+F1? Sometimes if wine is going nuts this takes a very long time to switch and it's almost painful to use to console to kill wine due to system load.

Is the wine app starting in a resolution you do not have in your XF86Conf?

Try running wine in a window (sometimes works better), you can edit the conf for it to run in a windowed mode. I can't think of the line but it's set to ="Y" by default and also uncomment the ="800x600" line for the window size...

I just finished installing Slack 9.1 and I'm gonna try installing wine again just after KDE 3.2 finishes installing.

I have every concievable resolution up to 1600x1200 setup in the X86Config file, so that couldn't be the issue.

It even crashes when running something simple like the built-in notepad or regedit. Would running these apps classify as "running in a window"? If so, it's not working in that case either.
