HB> I'm sorry to have confused you, all I meant to check is whether you also

HB> error that I used to get when I was advised not to use DGA with an ATI

HB> I was just mentioning that in my history of using Wine with this card (a

HB> originally broken (before, if I set DGA=Y, programs used to try to run
HB> and fail, but my monitor didn't lose signal and go into some freaky
HB> standby mode that takes a hard reboot to fix, which is what it does now
HB> if I set DGA to yes).

HB> Since you also have an ATI card, if setting UseDGA=N does solve the
HB> problem (or does not), please make sure to let us know, so that the Wine
HB> FAQ can be updated to include a general warning to ATI users to make
HB> sure to set UseDGA=N, so no one else has to get scared out of a year's
HB> growth thinking that their PC has blown up or something :-) .
