Summary: Screen flickers when starting wine with fglrx Product: Wine Version: 1.0.1 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: tdhutt@gmail.com
Hi, whenever I run wine with fglrx the screen flickers for about 20 seconds and the UI crawls to a halt.
The flickering looks like thick horizontal black bars and I strongly suspect is some kind of monitor probing. The same bars appear on a different windows computer on the second monitor (so it is probably nothing to do with wine). The same thing happens when I run the catalyst control centre (but it only takes about 5 seconds).
I'm guessing, but I expect that this bug is being cause by wine unnecessarily asking X for some display info, and fglrx taking ages to work stuff out.
I have the UseFastTLS option already set in my xorg.conf.
This is with Ubuntu 9.04.
