I don't know how I overlooked this suggestion last week but a review of my problem on Sunday morning uncovered this tip. When I rename wine and run the config in the terminal I get the same fried screen. I have deleted the folder .wine that was created 5 minutes ago and returned my old .wine folder to its rightful place but we now know that neither the upgrade to 1.1.8 or the rerun of the config helps. Is there anybody out there familiar with the nVidia set up screens? Maybe there is something to be gained by messing around with some of those settings???? I am lost at the bakery.

A new ~/.wine will automatically be created. If the display appears normal for the fresh wineprefix, then something you installed in the old one borked the display settings. > > > > > -- Jerry Linux Woodhaven, Mi
