I also would like to run PAP but have the same issue. I don't have graphics mode in xorg.conf as it is no longer used for this. Have tried to add "Mode 1920x108 "800x600"" in xorg.conf but the system doesn't want to boot in graphical mode then.
I had the same problem . PAP stopped working after an update. Heres what I did, I am on Kubuntu Maverick Uninstalled Wine and ran 'sudo apt-get autoremove' Deleted .wine folder from home directory Downloaded wine version wine1.3_1.3.26-0 from here http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html Installed gdiplus from winetricks And installed PAP 4.0 Also disabled wine update for now. Everything works just fine.
