[Help] wine (AUR) + ATI > WoW = crash on launch

Howdy
Been using Arch for a long time (came from Gentoo), but not been much of a gamer the last years, for that i had a MS rig with xp then vista.
I installed the 32-wine from AUR (thanks for that by the way), everything seems ok.

I downloaded the apropriate installers for WoW, both normal and Burning Crusade.
Both install fine, and i can "launch" the game from the "desktop shortcut".

The problem does not start when I hit "play", then my screen all gets "twisted", and everything gets pixelated.
(Kind of when a game crashes and messes up the screen)

the only fix i found so far is ctrl+alt+<--" to get back into KDE to get it working again.
this is run on a 3870 card from ATI, everything else works fine, include compizfusion (turned of when i try to run the game).

Everything else seems to work fine.
I assume it is some sort of gfx bug, prolly relates to directx, but i get same result when i use -opengl to launch launcher.exe
The problem "breaks" everything, even when run in a containerwindow.

Settings are for xp (winecfg)

Posting xorg.conf incase there might be something related to that.

Re: [Help] wine (AUR) + ATI > WoW = crash on launch

I just came across this post becuase I'm also having problems running WOW, but I couldn't help but notice you have two entries for your gfx card in xorg.conf. One for the open source driver and another for fglrx.

Re: [Help] wine (AUR) + ATI > WoW = crash on launch

That's a really convoluted xorg.conf (two Screens, two Devices, two Monitors). If you look, you're using aticonfig-Monitor, aticonfig-Screen, and aticonfig-Device. I would try your other entries in different combinations (Screen0, Card0, Monitor0) and try tuning them.

How did you make that config? Try hwd -xa as well.

Did you install lib32-catalyst-utils?
