damnit, X is crashing *every* time I run 3dmark2000

[Dan Kegel]

And always after test 17 of 20, I think.  I updated to the latest
nvidia driver supported by Ubuntu 10.04, no change.

The crash persists even with WINEDEBUG=+d3d,+d3d7,+synchronous.

I guess my next move is to drop 3dmark2000.

This is on the Steam page and covers your issue I believe.

WARNING Nvidia 185 Driver Series Crash
If you are using nVidia 185.x series drivers your X may crash when
attempting to run this application.  This is not a Wine bug and the
solution is to upgrade your drivers.  You can do this via nvidia.com
or your distros package management system.  Ubuntu 9.10 users can add
the nvidia-vdpau PPA to obtain the upgrade.

This is exactly what I had hoped to happen when I experimented with
putting Wine's test suite in checkbox (Ubuntu's main QA tool).  I'll see
if I can add yagmark to it too and then send it upstream so the tests
get run semi-regularly on maverick.

Maybe then we won't end up with a crashing driver in the release.

Thanks,

That was exactly the point - to use Wine's test suite as a "make X
crash" tool.  That way Ubuntu can detect when it's shipping a buggy
driver well before release.
