Is your graphics driver nVidia 185.18.14? Changes to winex11 in 1.1.43 exposed a bug in that driver, and possibly others. If your card is nVidia, upgrading to 195.36.15 will solve it. If your graphics card is from some other manufacturer, upgrade to their latest driver, and if that doesn't fix it, file a bug with them.MrMarkeh wrote:Okay, so I just ran FireFox under wine, and I've just had the most weirdest Wine experience in my life..
Heres what happened, I opened the browser, and suddenly - my screen goes black. And I'm returned to the Ubuntu start screen in seconds.
Can someone explain to me how I am suppose to debug THAT?

No, they're not the only ones. I'm on openSUSE 11.1. I had the problem with Word 2007 under the nVidia 185.xx.xx driver, and fixed it by upgrading. But you're right, it's not a Wine bug. It's clearly a graphics driver bug, one that has already been fixed by nVidia.eps wrote:I'm not
sure it is strictly Wine related as only Ubuntu 9.10 users have been
complaining.
