Thanks for the input Jorl17 ill give it a try.

recently i deleted the post you quoted because i re-enabled the OpenGL, and discovered that with the Performance Data helper PDH.dll i was able to get the scrollbars to work with OpenGL hovever only the arrows on the steam scrollbars work if you grab the slider it freaks out, but at least I can still scroll.

The new error im getting is similar to the original one in the first post:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  129 (Apple-DRI)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  2 ()
  Value in failed request:  0x22c9b9
  Serial number of failed request:  680774
  Current serial number in output stream:  680774

---------

I have a sneaky suspicion this is a problem with X11 and not wine.

Ill try your suggestions, and get back to you.
