How on Earth did you get around the repeating keys - I find it impossible to type anything at all. > Make sure you have one of the latest versions of wine, I'm currently > using 0.9.50, which probably isn't the totally lateest version, I > haven't had time to upgrade yet (type "wine --version" in a console to > find out which version you have - get the latest version at www.winehq.org). > You might also try to poke around in winecfg... Well after Windows recently ate my Linux root partition, I have not yet reinstalled wine. It is on the list of things still to be reinstalled though. I'm just checking in Yast as to which version I have on the DVD and/or in one of the repositories I'm connected to.
