Problem on Fedora 8

Post by lazy_fox »

I install wine by following commands:
# ./configure
# tools/wineinstall

Every time when I exit "winecfg" or exit other "wine apps", the computer will be halted.
And I have to restart the computer manually.

My OS is Fedora 8 and use wine-1.0.tar.bz2.

PS:
I install Fedora 5 and Fedora 8 on the same computer, and install wine-1.0 on each of them.
But the Fedora 5 is OK, Fedora 8 will always meet that problem.

Video driver bug or other system misconfiguration. Unless of course you running Wine as root.

I try both root and un-root user, the problem is same.
How can I fix the Video driver bug? Can I copy my Fedora5's driver to Fedora8's system? Which files should be copied?

Thanks!

Contact fedora support. It's something broken in your system. Wine by definition can not crash your system because it's a user application.

Thanks a lot, but how can I find out what's wrong with my system, and fix it.

To repeat vitamin: Contact Fedora support to see if they have a fix for
this problem. Wine is a user space application and should not crash
your system. You may also look into upgrading to Fedora 9.
