[PARTIALLY SOLVED] Wine 3D apps make the system randomly freezes

Hi!

Since some months, i can't play longer that one hour on games through wine: xorg locks up the system randomly: i can't switch to a console or close the game with Alt+F4. I can only move the mouse, and the sound is always running. Moreover, I can always connect to the pc through SSH.

I think it's due to fglrx driver, because with the OSS one, I never freeze so (but I get crap performances, what is not the best to play...).

Did someone got the same issue and solved it?

Thanks,
nob.

Write bug report to amd, and pray.

Edit: To not leave the post so cynical.
AMD's fglrx driver is not that high quality. From personal exprience, it has always caused more problems than good.
So your only choice is really to a) Write detailed bug to amd, and hope they fix it. b) Use the open source drivers. c) Change GPU

Thanks for your answer I think option c) is the best...

Edit: Rolled back to 12.6, and problems disappeared!
