Hello,
I think it might be your motherboard. According to my Google search on
msi 790fx-gd70, I got results that it is a motherboard using an AMD
chipset. Since ATI users know just how much catch-up is needed for ATI
video card drivers so the cards can perform as well as Nvidia. With ATI
and AMD now being the same company, I would speculate that if Ubuntu is
using AMD proprietary drivers for your MB, those drivers may also not
offer great performance like a MB using an Nvidia chipset.
Just my guess.

login it changes to the loading screen the bar stays empty and the computer
locks up.

load the program. after selecting open wow.exe in wine it does its normal im
gonna make you sit and stare for five minutes and either changes the cursor to
the wow cursor and does nothing more, or it generates an error report and after
sending the error the actual error box freezes/glitches unreadable and forces me
to kill it or restart. if i can get it to do it again ill screenshot and post
the error report.

bindings do what they are macro'd to but will also make my character take
off on autorun. i used btnx to program macros for the buttons and there is no
other key action other than what is macro'd.

character, it sends all kinds of distortion/broken/glitched whatever through the
entire screen. doesnt do it very often, usually in cities. did some reading
theory is its related to the opengl issue.

> thank you for reading this, i know i should search more but with all the
issues combined i decided to make my own post. im a bit of a linux noob and
still doing most things through the gui (i know bad me). any help or advice is
appreciated. thanks.
