DGA ?

Hey.

It might be possible, that this problem has already been discussed on this 
forum, but I'll take a risk, and throw a question concerning DGA || XFree86 
Wine driver. ..
My machine is running on Debian, kernel Linux 2.4.0, Athlon 1,2 GHz. What 
might prove to be useful in my problem is that I'm using TNT2, NViDiA video 
card [Drivers version is 4191 - AGP 4x working properly] . But let's get to 
the topic.
First of all, I'd like to ask, whether it is normal that , while DGA support 
is enabled in ~/.wine/config, keyboard and mouse input doesn't work ? I've 
tried running Starcraft, Little Big Adventure 2, and Red Alert demo, and none 
of these apps reacted to the input. All I could do was rebotting, as the 
ctrl+alt+f7 combination didn't work at all :(
The second thing I tried was, of course, disabling the option preventing me 
from playing those games.. And another disappointment. All games worked 
properly, but screen was getting refreshed SLOWLY. actually it was around 4, 
or 5 fps :( It made the gaming completely unplayable, and I was wondering 
whether there was an option to boost it. I launched X with --depth 16 
parameter, and - yes - it worked way much faster, but - still - starcraft was 
way too much slow for me to play it. So I decreased the depth even more, to 
depressive 8 bits. Now Starcraft's working with speed I actually wanted to 
see, but.. the palette is all messed up :/ It looks as if there was an 
approximate of 240-245 colours changed by app, instead of 255.. My question 
is: has anybody managed to launch the game with all its features working 
properly ? 

Thanks for answering, I'm dying to play those games :(
