[Bug 314205] Re: wine screen updates faulty in Jaunty

[Steve Dodier]

Hello Stephen,

You may not know it, but we switched to X.org server 1.6 in Jaunty,
which may have, as a result, an increase of instability for the GPUs.
This issue is, imho, nonely related to Wine, and you're likely to run
into same trouble with any OpenGL game, because Compiz + openGL have
always been messy, and because we use a new x.org server, and because
ATi does take time to make good and stable drivers.

The only ways to make this significantly better would be to contribute
in making great free drivers (since we can't contribute on proprietary
ones), and find out a way to make compiz (and other composite wms, such
as XFCE/KDE ones) behave more smoothly with OpenGL apps (obviously i
don't know what's wrong with it, but remember compiz fusion is still
under development).

I'm sorry to say it, but i don't think this is going to improve in a
close future, and there is nothing the people at wine can do to change
that.
