Concerning the X crash: this should have been fixed a while ago (see bug #401067), if you have this issue with an up-to-date system would you please collect a backtrace (see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing) and open a new bug?
For the rest from what I can see the problem is fixed in newer x and mesa packages (and maybe others?) - i.e. works well in fedora - but they aren't included in this release of ubuntu. -- [GM45] 3D applications fail to run in WINE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406865 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
