Wine kills my X session

Ive just installed Beryl and was gonna give WoW a go with wine from the repos.

When installed i noticed that i got alots of strange .wine dirs, like .wine-Uo87xt and so on.
and no Program Files dir was created either.
But i created one and put my WoW folder there.

The thing is that when i run any wine application like
# wine /path/WoW.exe -opengl
or just
# winecfg

it kills X and im thrown out to vc/1 terminal.
i cant really tell if it is a Beryl error-message or not.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

i followed this guide to install wine and WoW but with very little success since i even cant get wine running.

Re: Wine kills my X session

Does it work with Beryl disabled? Otherwise you should try out sending information to a file.

wine /path/WoW.exe -opengl > ~/wowlog

It should give you the exact failure description.

Re: Wine kills my X session

well, the sending the output to a logfile didnt do jack

but! i did start X with just startx instead of startxgl 1 xfce4-session nvidia

and now it works! but though with somewhat low fps and no beryl candy.

is it possible to have both or do i have to make this hearthbreaking choice?

edit: i startx and then choose beryl as windowmanager, then both wine and beryl work together.

But does this startx work just aswell as startxgl? or do i loose any performance by this option?
The loadingtime in shattrah city was terrible, even though the Fps was good.
