------- Additional Comments From justice8@wanadoo.fr 2007-26-07 04:52 ------- Hi,
I have encounter the same issue with cedega/SOF2 and this is a workaround: run a dedicated X server for playing wine game (usually I run a raw X server by hand, with just a xterm) example, with root user or sudo:
/usr/bin/X :1 -dpi 96 -audit 0 -nolisten tcp vt8 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:1.Xauth & DISPLAY=:1.0 xterm &
(taken from main running X server)
