I have a brand new computer with a fresh install of Gentoo linux and wine. I have been able to install and run Steam, but Steam itself always seems to freeze some short time after starting it. Usually this takes place at the "Connecting account. . ." dialogue, but every now and then I can actually get a game of HL2 loading. I have never got as far as the HL2 menu being active. It does not seem to generate any sort of useful output in the console: patrick@Gohan ~/Stuff/Wine/Program Files/Steam $ wine steam.exe -novid -applaunch 220 err:ntlm:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated.

Killed In this instance, I killed it after it froze at the Connecting account dialogue. Simple windows programs that don't have wacky interfaces like Steam (or is it DirectX?) seem to work just fine. I have the nvidia X drivers installed and they appear to be working fine. I get over 22,000 FPS in glxgears :o. I have tried with ALSA, OSS, and no sound options selected. Does any one have any idea what may be causing this? Thank you!
