wine users - Mar 2001 - xterm needs reset, no output

I have attempted to get wine functioning for several days
but have been having no output recognizable as a windows
program, rather the terminal acts much as though the output
was that of a cat of a binary file and requires a reset to
become useful again. I am running Slack 7.1 on 2.2.18 on a
dual celeron machine using XFree86 4.0.2. All other programs
are functioning normally.  I have used precompiled binaries
and compiled from source with no change in behavior.
Any ideas?   John

Well, it doesn't look like a cat of a binary file, but I can get wine to
spew badly formatted fixme's and leave an xterm in need of a reset by
changing ~/.wine/config to include:
[wine]
"GraphicsDriver" = "ttydrv"

ttydrv is still not ready to handle graphics, so you might have better
luck to set

[wine]
"GraphicsDriver" = "x11drv"

I didn't know you could do that to an xterm, but I guess you can.
