I have tried two seperate programs on Wine warcraft 3 ~ it will start the loading screen and then boot me to login screen Itunes ~ starts installing after about 5 seconds it boots me to login screen. this is my video driver, filename: /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/acpi/video.ko license: GPL description: ACPI Video Driver author: Bruno Ducrot srcversion: 240C6FAC0F04ADD8FA4B2C3 alias: acpi*:LNXVIDEO:* depends: output vermagic: 2.6.28-11-generic SMP mod_unload modversions parm: brightness_switch_enabled:bool Let me know if anyone has any ideas. how do i reinstall my graphics drivers? im somewhat of a linux noob, but plan on sticking with linux if i can figure out wine.
