wine users - Sep 2006 - x crash when I am trying to play StarCraft

I am running Debian Etch with kernel 2.7.11, I install wine 0.9.21 through
the Ubuntu source with apt since there isn't one for Debian
all I did to get wine was  apt-get install wine
installation went well with no error, but when I do this as
$ wine /path/to/starcraft.exe &> /tmp/wine-starcraft.log

X crashes, and what is below is what's in wine-starcraft.log

fixme:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImpl_GetAvailableTextureMem (0x1777d8) : stub,
simulating 64MB for now, returning 64MB left
fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_SetCooperativeLevel
(0x177040)->(0x10024,00000013)
fixme:xrandr:X11DRV_XRandR_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32
to 8
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).^M
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).^M

please help me, thank you

According to this, you should try to run your X server in 8bit mode
before starting StarCraft:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-bugs/2006-March/027700.html

Also, search AppDB for StarCraft, it should contain useful info since
StarCraft is known to run well in Wine.

Yuheng, how many times do I have to tell you to reply to the list
email rather than my email address? I'm going to stop responding if it
happens again.

Here's a copy of your email so that the list can see it.

thanks you
I really don't know how to help you.

X servers are supposed to be bulletproof.
If X crashed, you either have hit a bug in X or a bug in
your graphics card's X driver.  So the first question is:
what graphics card are you using, and did you install
a closed-source driver?  If you did, try using an open-source driver instead.

Debian Etch is still being tested, and is not released yet,
so you should probably contact the Debian developers
and report this as a bug against their X server.

You might try installing Ubuntu 06.11 on a separate partition
or hard driver, or booting it live from cd, and seeing if the problem exists
there, too.  I bet it won't, since that uses a different X server.
