wine users - Feb 2010 - No keyboard input when running RollerCoaster Tycoon 3

Be forewarned, I am new to Linux.  I am using Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala).  I
have installed wine (1.1.38) and I am able to run RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 both
with and without a virtual desktop.  It runs with no problems except for the
fact that it does not receive keyboard commands!  I have looked all over the
Internet and still have yet to find a solution.  Someone help, please!

I haven't installed any other programs under Wine, but I tested keyboard
input with Notepad and it worked just fine.

Can you run the program from the terminal and post back what happens
when you press keys? 

See

http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal

in our FAQ on how to run your program from the command line and

http://wiki.winehw.org//FAQ#get_log

on how to create a log file

If the output is rather large, please post it to a site like pastebin.com.

Thank you.

For whatever reason, when I ran it from terminal a couple times I got an error
and it would not start.  I tried to run it just by clicking the .exe and it
worked just fine, not sure what the deal is.  Here is the log though:

fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33f27c,0x00000000), stub!

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000008 at address 0x80e25d

Is there a way to do a log without running it from terminal, seeing how it wont
run that way?

Run xrandr and post back what it says.

This resolution is there.  However the first resolution is not.  You may
need to add it or you may want to check if it is really needed.
