Though XRender not being enabled in the Xserver is quite strange. Even if a driver doesn't accelerate XRender, then there is always a software fallback (though you could disable that, but I doubt that was done). So I would guess that you are missing a 32-bit XRender. Your Wine was definitely compiled with XRender support else you would have seen different warnings. Thanks for your reply. My Ubuntu: 2.6.32-26-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 09:00:03 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux wine installed via synaptic from http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu repository via normal package update process. Both screen shots can be generated by either my current .wine (my original older install) or .wine_new (fresh install). These behaviors occur depending on which install of wine I use to launch the program examples. If Xrender works with one, then the other is "unable to load the Xrender library", how can I change this? Is there a symbolic link missing or broken?
