wine users - Nov 2011 - Question about Wine

Are there any limits to this program? Will it in the future be able to run
Windows games as if it was being run native? If so I will without a doubt donate
to this project. If there are any roadblocks that we know we can't do would
you kindly inform me of this?

I use an integrated graphics chipset. I know it's nothing special, but
I've noticed blackish graphical errors running various applications like
Firefox/Google Chrome/Utorrent with wine. I would be amazed if this is possible.
I've seen what it can do with ATI/Nvidia cards, and wish Intel would work
too!

Of course. Did you seriously think the answer could be anything else? If you
want to know what the limits are, read the FAQ and start browsing bugzilla and
the AppDB.

It already does that for some games. If you want to know whether the games you
want to run fall into that category, check the AppDB. If you're asking
whether that will ever be true for all games, the answer is no.

That sounds like a known bug in the 2.12.0 through 2.15.0 Intel drivers. It was
fixed in 2.16.0, so if you're not using that version, upgrade.

Will updating to the latest kernel here
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.1-rc10-oneiric/ do the trick?
Or would i need to work with xorg mesa ect manually?
