Hi. I've tried GTA3 on wine with the kernel 2.6-test10 and I've found it a lot faster than with the 2.4.22. The problem is that the games is very fast but it's not smooth, once a second it'll block for some millseconds but this not happen always and not with the same frequency... this happens the same with or without kernel preemption. After some tryes I've discovered that renicing the "wineserve" process to a a low priority (for example +19) correct this problem and the game become very smooth and fast... Someone know why ???? I'm using the nvidia closed source drivers with the nvidia GLX acceleration. I don't know if this happend Bye -- Simone

Try disabling that. In Redhat there is a control panel for configuring this, but I don't know about on your system.
