wine users - Sep 2009 - No text after x.org tweaks involving Intel 945 chipset,

Hi all,

Before you read any further, I have been through the posts available on the
Internet about missing text in application/winecfg, so I've made sure
msfonts are installed, there are fonts in the drive_c/windows/Fonts directory
& the .reg file is pointing to one which is in there.

Everything was working fine until I updated my graphics so the pretty Ubuntu
effects would work properly, a summery of what i did is:

This will enable repository which contains bleeding-edge mesa & Xorg drivers
which are continually updated (via the xorg-edgers PPA), enable UXA
acceleration, create a workaround for the MTRR bug and install kernel 2.6.30.3.
This configuration is not necessarily the fastest (in fact, the Optimal
configuration is fastest for my hardware), and is recommended only for users who
want to test the latest Xorg code.

More information can be found here (I used the bleeding edge setup):
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 please note, i did post here
too, but have yet to receive a reply.

Since I installed these fixes, there is no text in any wine application or
winecfg, although i can highlight text (creating a solid oblong), it doesn't
copy & paste into gedit or anything.

Any help would be great, I only use Wine for Spotify, which has made it fun over
the past week!

wine version: 1.1.29
ubuntu jaunty, 9.04
Kernal: 2.6.30.3
Intel 945 graphics
i386 architecture

I happen to have the same chipset, and there are three repositories for it:
Ubuntu's default, a repository that contains more recent (but still sort of
stable) releases that are not in the default repository (until Karmic), and
bleeding-edge, least stable repository. Since the problems started appearing
after you started using the bleeding edge drivers, try switching to the more
stable in-between repository instead - I have that, it's sort of stable, I
have hardware acceleration, and Wine works fine with it.

Note that I have not checked your link, but I might know the topic behind it
anyway and it'll list the two diferent repos.
