I marked this bug critical cause I think the real big problem isn't that Warcraft III freezes the system - the terrifying thing is the fact that wine is able to
"Servity" is a link. Please read, what "critical" mean.
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.
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?
It occurs in all wine version i've used so far...
Please specify the the Versions, you tested (newest in the Details above)
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
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"
Please ask me anything with wich i can help you.
Sorry, I have no deep Knowledge about d3d/OpenGL.
