Recently I have built my own compilation of wine on Debian, three different revisions (0.9.6 .7 and .8). All of these versions are compiled correctly. I have noticed an odd problem with these builds of wine, and the commercial cedega fork of wine on Debian.
My dilemma: I used to play WoW alot.. on linux even! But since my reinstall, I've had no such luck.. For those that have played World of Warcraft, I am currently pulling a massive 13fps in the horde's crossroads, and 5fps if I am lucky in Orgrimmar.. Now, these rates are horrible for my hardware, and on my last Debian install I would get at least acceptable framerates. I get these pitiful framerates on wine AND cedega, so I am pretty assured that I have compiled wine correctly. I have nvidia-kernel-source installed and modules built for both of my kernels, 2.6.15.4 mainline and also 2.6.15-ck4. nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-dev are installed, as are the proper libraries wine requires. Hardware: Pentium D 830 (3GHz dualcore) 1.5GB RAM Asus P5LD2 Mobo nVidia 6600 256MB PCI-E What I have tried to remedy this situation: Different builds of wine Different versions of cedega Tried mainline kernel, and Con's patchset Tried both wine and cedega Some odd things to note: While running wine, if I attach strace to wine's process which uses the most cpu (I don't recall if its just 'wine' or 'wineserver' at the moment, either or) strace just shows a TON of sched_yield() = 0 ... I talked to Con Kolivas about this problem and he said it may be related to a toolchain bug due to mainline and his ck patchset kernels showing the same effect. I am not very knowing about how the Debian toolchain is setup so maybe someone could enlighten me on this possible problem? I am at a loss as what to do at this point. My past install 2 months ago worked fine.. This is nearly a brand new install, and it just isn't working properly with wine and this game. If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it! -r -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
