[Wine] Hard-Locks and graphics card driver issues

[fabian büttner]

Hello,
This is my first post on this list.

I am experiencing very often hard-locks while using different wine
versions (from wine 0.9.58 until 1.0-rc3).

My OS is Fedora 9 x86_64 and I also compiled 1.0-rc3 how the wine wiki
told me to do.
I am also experiencing hard-locks just by using winetricks. 
The hard-locks appear not immediately but sporadically.

But that's a kernel issue I guess, eh?
My kernel version is 2.6.25.4-42. (had that issue also with 2.6.25.3)

Then about my graphics driver issue. When trying to load Heroes of Might
and Magic 3, I get the following errors on my console:

err:d3d:WineD3D_CreateFakeGLContext Can't find a suitable iPixelFormat
err:d3d:InitAdapters Failed to get a gl context for default adapter
fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from
32 to 16
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {5959df60-2911-11d1-b049-0020af30269a}
not registered
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object
{5959df60-2911-11d1-b049-0020af30269a} could be created for context 0x1
fixme:dplay:IDirectPlayLobby3AImpl_RegisterApplication :stub

I don't see what's wrong with my nvidia drivers.
my driver version: akmod-nvidia-173.14.05-2

Any ideas?
regards,
Fabian
