wine users - Feb 2005 - Problems starting Wavelab

hi

i've been running steinberg's wavelab 5 under wine20041201, but recently
i upgraded to wine20050111 - and wavelab was the only app i was using
that didn't work ...

so i downgraded back to 20041201 - and it won't work :(

i had compiled the 2005 release from source (and was able to see, for
the first time, wine's jack audio driver work ... well, *try* to work),
but have always used the fedora core 2 rpms for the 20041201 release.
all my other wine apps still work as per usual, except for wavelab,
which doesn't even work after a re-install ...

anyway, here's the output from a command-line start (btw - i've also
tried starting wavelab from its own directory):
> [mrmachine@localhost mrmachine]$ wine ./wine/drive_c/Program\
> Files/Steinberg/WaveLab/WaveLab.exe
> err:midi:MIDI_AlsaToWindowsDeviceType Cannot determine the type of

> X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
>   Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
>   Serial number of failed request:  58
>   Current serial number in output stream:  60
any help would be appreciated.

hi mark, thanx for the info .... however, the quartz.dll didn't seem to
help :(

i also put it in the /system/ folder - that is where the included .nfo
file suggests to put it ...

i haven't quite achieved this level of knowledge yet with wine either
... i guess if i'm to figure this out, i better start looking into stuff
like .dll overrides etc ...

i'll give this a shot - i haven't been able to find a good debugging
how-to for wine ... any suggestions?
