[Wine] Re: winecfg and notepad hangs when first start up

[jacky11287 at gmail.com]

Hi Hong,

I am also new to FC6 too, but I feel strange that ATI and nVidia both
doesn't be supported in FC6? Since at home, I also installed FC6 with
nVidia Geforce 7300Le, FC6 can found the display card and installed
(unless it is fake driver).

I will try to see it is the problem of KDE or GNOME~~~I will also try
SUSE as well.

Hope can get a suitable answer anyway~~~

Thank you very much

Yours sincerely,
Jacky Chan
