hi,
after i follow these steps, I can't make it working with both winex and 
wine :

Using winex using d3d (compiled from cvs), start using wine 
path/War3.exe  :
err:win32:_EnterSysLevel (0x407e74a8, level 2): Holding 0x40887fec, 
level 3. Expect deadlock!
fixme:ddraw:D3D_GL_sync_render_state unsupported render state 161
fixme:ddraw:D3D_GL_sync_render_state unsupported render state 162
fixme:ddraw:D3D_GL_sync_render_state unsupported render state 168
fixme:ddraw:D3D_GL_sync_render_state unsupported render state 171
fixme:ddraw:D3D_GL_sync_render_state unsupported render state 172
fixme:ddraw:D3D_GL_sync_render_state unsupported render state 173

fixme:ddraw:D3D_GL_texture_stage_state unsupported texture stage state 25
fixme:ddraw:D3D_GL_texture_stage_state unsupported texture stage state 28
fixme:ddraw:D3D_GL_texture_stage_state unsupported texture stage state 25
Erreur de segmentation
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x40c2a314 "x11drv_main.c: 
X11DRV_CritSection" wait timed out, retrying (60 sec) fs=2307

Using winex using opengl (compiled from cvs), start using wine 
path/War3.exe -- -opengl :
it prints :
fixme:opengl:wglSwapLayerBuffers (): stub !
fixme:opengl:wglSwapLayerBuffers (): stub !
fixme:opengl:wglSwapLayerBuffers (): stub !

over and over ...

Using wine using opengl (compiled from cvs), start using wine 
path/War3.exe -- -opengl :

fixme:dsound:IDirectSoundImpl_SetCooperativeLevel 
(0x403aad78,00010023,2):stub
fixme:win32:CreateIoCompletionPort (ffffffff, 0000, 00000000, 00000000): 
stub.

then it seems to start fullscreen but does not display anything, so that 
i must kill it.


any ideas ?
