wine users - Dec 2001 - Wine+Lightwave

I've managed (Hoorah!) to get Lightwave 6.5b working with Wine, (LW 7's
a
non-starter 'cus of InstallSheild.

However, it doesn't seem to respond to any keyboard input (although the F
keys do work!!)  I'd noticed the same problem with LW 5.5 too.  Has
anyone else come up against this and managed a work-around/fix?

Setup = Mandrake 8.1 and a freshly Downloaded/Compiled/installed Wine
today.

Thanks.
