Hello,
I have this question: I have a game called "Knights and Merchants" which I sometimes play; I find it deadlocks each time after playing for an hour or so it seems it isn't a complete deadlock, sometimes some of sound comes through between intervals of minutes or so; harddisk activity seems extreme - the light is burning constantly. I then usually decide to kill the program; as it opens fullscreen I can't get to the xterm that launched it, so I try to get to a console; The system is so slow that it takes some time to get to a console <ctrl-alt-f1>, and login in may time out a few times before finaly getting in (the cure to that one is simple: login before starting the game...) - then it takes another minute or so to run ps and kill the wine process
is there a way to find what is causing the deadlock? I can log the output wine gives using `script`, but as deadlocks only occur after a lot of time running the game with lots of logging active would be a pain
will log the output at least next time I play; for now, has somebody ideas how to log without getting major slowdown (otherwise there's no playing in it)?
thanks,
Joris
