Yeah. What we need is somebody to try the vanilla unupdated ubuntu 8.10 from cd-rom and see if it lacks this problem. Then we can point our fingers squarely at the update...
The user in comment #9 is using Arch Linux (I sent him here from the forum), so this problem is not limited to Ubuntu.
Yes, there are few reports in ArchLinux forum: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=461081#p461081
IMO it's the driver bug, the nvidia-96xx driver. It could be a conflict with new xorg or kernel.
I've solved my problem by switching to the open source driver xf86-video-nv. Now my wine applications work fine, except the Canon DPP - It works, but I can't upgrade to the newest version. However, I'm satisfied for now :o)
I'll wait for future, for better driver version or for better PC with new graphic card :o) I'm going to write a message to Santa.
