[Wine] Running wine from source

[HappyCat]

I am trying to run Steam via Wine from the source code (1.1.33), instead of the binaries in the repo that I have installed (1.1.32). I am on Ubuntu 8.10. I have a few questions:

1. When I run from the binaries, all my games launch fine. When I run from the compiled source, I get the following error when I try to launch games:

err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x7ef823e7

And the game will not launch. Is this a new bug that was introduced in 1.1.33, or did I mess up trying to build wine?

2. I basically want to play around with just the d3d code. Is there any way I could build just the d3d dlls and use them with the current binary install I have, or would it be easier just to run everything from the source version?

Also, I have another issue I run into frequently that I didn't see covered by the FAQ. In a lot of FPS games, when using mouse look, it seems like my ability to look around is bounded by the mouse hitting the edge of the screen, i.e. I can only spin around about 2 times in either direction before I get stuck and have to "unspin" myself. Is there a fix for this sort of thing, or is it a known problem?
