wine users - Aug 2009 - Another freeze by launching steam game cs and cs:source

Hi.

I`m pretty new to linux and i rly preciate if some1 could help with this problem
so i keep my motivation to stay in linux.

I have installed wine-doors and steam without problems. Downloaded counter
strike via steam. Launching after install it showed main cs page properly but
clicking option or console button.. it freezes with click sound(i can move mouse
tho). Second launch and afterwards it freezes and showing only
"options" and "quit" wich couldn`t be clicked.

In source at first launch, i could open options and so and when i tried to
create server for testing it freezes end of loading time (was it ..parsing data
or something). Next times i launched it closed itself always when loading main
page and i was back to desktop.

I used for closing alt+F2 xkill, won`t be a problem?

I?ve tried to apply from wine config audio oss and alsa(freezes in both) and
without any audio closes cs itself like that source do. I tried some older audio
packages or what was those when saw 1 guy solving that freeze problem with that.
In my case my main page was without "options" and "quit"
text even after that.

I rly don`t know what to do and hoping to get some help or ideas how to fix it.
I have ati radeon hd2600xt and ati 9-7 driver installed and working properly. OS
is Linux mint 7. I also tried installing wine and steam from console(and with
steam executable with wine) what went fine but this same problem exist. I have
my windows steam in ntfs folder but thought it installs steam in linux ext3
system (fully?) so it wan`t be problem? Just said this too when read that wine
won`t work if steam is installed in ntfs partition or something.

Thx in advance.

It's your ATI card the drivers are having a problem with your kernel if I
remember correctly i'm assusming if you're getting this crash it
hasn't been fixed yet. I gave up on trying to fix it and got a GeForce
card(it works but no one will help me on how to fix the drivers) lol. So yeah
best to buy a GeForce card or try and look up what kernel works with the
drivers.

Thx Snake.. there is more reason now to buy that gtx what i`ve thought already
before. 9.6 catalyst even resolution change was hard enough what was fixed in
9.7 though so better leave ati for a while at least.

If I could help out any other way I would but ATI is epic fail on drivers for
Linux :/
