[Replying to a post from September...] The "cannot initialize opengl" is bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14045 The workaround is to set a registry key to tell sketchup your graphics card is ok. See http://wiki.winehq.org/GoogleSketchup for more tips. Caveat: your Asus EAX1650Pro graphics card is ATI-based, and I haven't heard any success stories yet running Sketchup on ATI graphics cards.

...port. I want to use nouveau driver in the future too. So I'm in doubt in that that whether to buy GeForce GT730 or GTX 750 Ti card? I don't want to run super 3D game applications but only: games-adventure/pioneer <http://pioneerspacesim.net/> sometimes and SweetHome3D more often or GoogleSketchUp ( by using PlayOnLinux ); although this last ( GSkUP ) has never been usable at all ( garbage on screen).

I'm interested in this speed problem. Does it persist with the latest versions of everything ( Sketchup 7, Wine 1.1.9, and Kubuntu 8.10)? See http://wiki.winehq.org/GoogleSketchup for tips on how to get Sketchup 7 running on Wine.
