------- Additional Comments From the3dfxdude@gmail.com 2006-02-02 18:24 ------- So, both PCs are running same version of Ubuntu and you tried the same version of wine setup the same way, but different results. Seems like a hardware problem to me. Let me know if I am wrong in guessing the situation.
It also has been told of me that bad drivers can cause the same thing; in the case I know, it was a misconfigured nvidia binary driver.
