Paint problem with an mfc app. Flickering for ever...

droidvideo · Post by **droidvideo** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 1:44 pm

Hi
I was able to run my app under Mac version of wine (on Leopard). When it comes up, the whole app is flickering for ever. It is as if it is getting lots of PAINT events. It is an MFC based application.
Is there any trick I can try to fix this?

Thanks
Joe

What is the application?
What version of Leopard are you using?
What type of video card is installed in your Mac (Apple -> About This
Mac -> More Info... button -> Hardware -> Graphics/Displays. The card
type will be on the top line.
Have you installed XQuartz 2.3.3.2?

Thank you.

I remember reading on this site that the X that ships with Leopard is stable and works fine with wine.
Do I need to uninstall it and install XQuartz 2.3.3?

Thanks

No, XQuartz 2.3.3.2 installs over X11 that is included with MacOSX 10.5.7 and will have to be installed if you apply a later Security Update.
