For the news, messages are archived at www.deja.com . Due to google buying
deja, reachability might not be good at some times. Wine related mailing
lists are archived at www.winehq.com

: Another question is about wine and xserver stability. Every time when I run 
: MSWORD97 on the latest wine or on the codeweavers wine-1.0-preview3 and I

: replacing the nvidia drivers by the original xfree nvidia drivers. But then 
: I tried to access my computer via remote display from a pc with a ati (rage 
: 128) graphics card and the xserver crashed again. Both pc's are using 
: xfree4.02 and the server was running codewaevers wine. 
: The problem is that I don't have another driver for the pc with the ati 
: graphics card. 

I suspect a combination of bad XFree drivers and a programming error in
wine. Try debugging the wine programm with the --synchronous option and post
the last lines of the log.

: When I tried to use the lastest cvs wine the I could't use wine via remote 
: display and I got the following messages:

: X Error of failed request:  XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled
:   Major opcode of failed request:  134 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
:   Minor opcode of failed request:  14 (XF86VidModeSetClientVersion)
:   Serial number of failed request:  181
:   Current serial number in output stream:  182  

: The xserver is running on the pc with ati graphics card and the option not 
: to load dga extension might be enabled or disabled, both give the same 
: result. 
: I really don't know which other option is for enabling the 
: VidModeExtension, so any help is greatly appcriciated.

Some X related things can only run local...

: 4)
: Another question is about using codeweavers wine and MSOffice 97. When I 
: try to load more than one program from MSOffice the second program crashes 
: immediately at loading the second program. Running only one program works 
: fine.

: If have also tried to use Office 2000 and running more than one program is 
: possible too, but when I try to load or to save a document it always 
: complains that this is not possible (I have forgotten the exact error 
: message). 

: My problem is that for both office 2000 and office 97 it seems not to be 
: possible to run them with wine but I really would like to run at least one 
: of them. 

Again, try some debugging...

Bye
