hello i upgraded wine from 3months old version to current one. and i noticed that my computer locks very often. the same application which run before now locks the computer completely (event SysRq button is not working) i can't find out what is wrong, there is nothing in syslogs... is here anyone with the same problem? maybe it is something on my computer but i doubt it (3months old version didn't made it to me...) just for info. kernel 2.6.11.11, gfxcard is ati radeon 9600 and i use latest drivers from ati

IMHO it's a gfx card lockup. It may happen because new wine uses more sophisticated algorithms in the 3D rendering area, which may trigger various bugs in the gfx card driver, thus freezing the card. This lockup makes the X server to lock too, so even the keyboard gets dead. Is the machine connected to the net ? There are chances that the kernel is still alive and that the remote access via ssh may succeed. You can then kill the X server or at least reboot the system gracefully... I have one machine, where the same happens using firefox (native Linux version). X server freezes including the keyboard, but remote access is working and the system may be revived by killall -9 X. The machine is equipped with Nvidia gfx card and Nvidia drivers. Other machine with the same card but X drivers doesn't do this. With regards, Pavel Troller
yes i run wine as regular user strange thing is that native applications run (including doom3 for example). or when i try the same application in windows and linux version (some graphic demo) then native version works and windows version in wine will lock the machine. i don't have network so i can't test if kernel responds.
