 Some wine apps freeze when using KDM/GDM/Entrance If I start a KDE or Enlightenment session from a terminal login $startx When I launch wine using IE, everything works normally. I can minimize windows, move them, use the program. If I start KDE or Enlightenment session from a Login Manager like GDM, KDM, or Entrance, everything appears the same until..... If I minimize the wine IE window, the app crashes and the process has to be killed. If I move another window in fron of the wine IE one, the wine program crashes. Slackware 10 (unmodified Xorg installation) Kernel 2.6.9 KDE 3.3.90 cvs head Enlightenment 0.16.7.2 wine 20041019 I tried to google some and did find comments about system freezes and crashes when using GDM, but they were old. Anyone have any insight? I don't mind the terminal logins and starting my WNs manually, I just want to understand this better. Thx      |

Turns out it was an OpenGL error due to restrictive permissions on devices nVidia has. Luckily, when the Video driver bombed, a message came up about that: Error: Could not open /dev/nvidiactl because the permissions are too restrictive. Please see the FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS section of /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README for steps to correct. Of course, reading the doc allowed me to change the perms and everything works normally. Not sure why the permissions were NOT a problem when launching a window manager from a terminal instead of a Login Manager, but at least I was able to resolve the issue. Thanks |
