wine users - Dec 2005 - program doesn't work, wine returns without message

Hi List,


I'm new to wine so please forgive me if I ask silly questions.

I have a program here called matikus.exe which is some mathematical education
program for kids. It runs under Win98, but I don' want to reboot my linux
box (ubuntu 5.10 on AMD K6-2 500) just for that single win proggy.

This program resides on CD and when I start it under wine I just get the prompt
back after some short time without any error message. The only thing that is
printed is

  sizeof(RADEONDRIRec) == 100, devPrivSize 100

but I get this message also from programs like glxinfo.

How can find out why wine fails to start this program. I don't think it has
any high system requirements. It consists of some 2D graphics animations and
sound, mouse and keyboard input, nothing special compared to the programs that
are known to run under wine.

When running it under winedbg I get this output:

mstreibe@max:/media/cdrom $ winedbg MATIKUS.EXE 
WineDbg starting on pid 0x10

sizeof(RADEONDRIRec) == 100, devPrivSize 100
