"Servity" is a link. Please read, what "critical" mean.
Thank you, sorry for that, now I know.
crashes my whole system, making me unable to do anything but a hardware reset.
Wine is only a user application (similar to Firefox/xpdf or other), and a user-application can never freeze the whole system.
I would tell that to everyone else too... but it doesn't look like that.
It occurs on my ThinkPad R61 with integrated Intel GMA965 X3100 graphic card.
Special to Wine is, that it use the OpenGL/X-Driver much more than all other apps. That make bugs in the Driver visible.
It doesn't matter if its 64 or 32-Bit, i tried several Ubuntu and Archlinux versions, with different mesa/X/drivers.
Which Driver and which version?
At the moment packages.ubuntu.com doesn't work, so I cant look what was the driver version in Ubuntu 7.10, but at this version it doesn't worked for sure. And the moment it is with Ubuntu 8.04 the version 2.2.1 - same problem. And with Archlinux I tried at this time some more (and newer) versions (and other X/mesa versions) and they dont worked too. Ok, atm there is a newer version in Archlinux (2.3) wich I haven't tried so far.
It occurs in all wine version i've used so far...
Please specify the the Versions, you tested (newest in the Details above)
From 0.9.45 (wich I use at the moment, it works best so far) till 1.1.0. What
details to tell?
it happens - but most of the time when I change from X (Gnome) to Warcraft (Alt-Tab or things like that) or the other way round.
Sounds like a Driver-Bug
Probably you're right, but I cant say ;)
So I guess the main question is, why is wine able to crashes my system? Why I'm not able to do something other than a hardware reset?
You can restart X with "ctrl - alt - Backspace" You can switch to a console with "ctrl - alt - F1"
Trust me, I tried every possible trick. There is nothing to do but a hardware reset (maybe I'm possible to connect via ssh or something like this with an other computer, can't test this atm.
But I just remember something that happend a while ago, the crash occurs while I was voice chatting via mumble. And i couldn't do anything, but mumble was still alive. So yeah, the whole system doesn't crash, but I'm unable to do anything.
