           Summary: Screen flickers when starting wine with fglrx
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: tdhutt at gmail.com


Hi, whenever I run wine with fglrx the screen flickers for about 20 seconds and
the UI crawls to a halt.

The flickering looks like thick horizontal black bars and I strongly suspect is
some kind of monitor probing. The same bars appear on a different windows
computer on the second monitor (so it is probably nothing to do with wine). The
same thing happens when I run the catalyst control centre (but it only takes
about 5 seconds).

I'm guessing, but I expect that this bug is being cause by wine unnecessarily
asking X for some display info, and fglrx taking ages to work stuff out.

I have the UseFastTLS option already set in my xorg.conf.

This is with Ubuntu 9.04.
