I am running Wine 0.9.18 on Ubuntu 6.06. I was able to get Diablo II running very easily, but there are two rather small problems that are bugging me. The first is that the sound is delayed about a second from the events that trigger them. I am actually having this problem outside of Diablo. I am using the ALSA drivers. The other is that while the 'alt' key is held down, mouse clicks do not work. In the game, you can hold alt to see the names of items that are on the floor. Running normally on Windows, you can then click on the names to pick them up, so that you don't have to hunt for the pixels that make up the tiny item laying on the ground. You could also move around (by clicking) while the 'alt' key was held down. Under Wine, mouse clicks have no effect while I am holding down the 'alt' key. Has anyone seen these problems before, or know what could be causing them? Thanks, Colin

I am using the ALSA drivers.Sound is not particularly delayed using ALSA on my systems, but there's heavy (= once a second or so) sound corruption. There's a practical existing solution to the sound problem, but AJ (wine ?ber boss) is very stubborn about not letting it into the sources for some reason. Perhaps because of some highly hypothetical security issue, or perhaps there's a better reason lurking somewhere. There might be a theoretical (other) technical solution to the problem, but it seems noone is aware of any, at least noone has implemented any. There's an unmaintained patch floating around somewhere which should fix things, if you can get it to apply etc.> The other is that while the 'alt' key is held down, mouse clicks do > not work.

The OSS drivers have their own problems. If I try any hardware acceleration other than "emulation", Diablo crashes with "UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: ACCESS VIOLATION". With emulation, the sound works in the intro and main menu, but often when I load my game it turns into incredibly loud static. Occasionally it works, and the sound is fine without the delay I get when using ALSA.

I know that the gnome window manager (metacity) binds alt-click to move window by default.
