1 I am finding that with one particular windows application running under wine
2 the graphics are incredibly slow. My question is: Is this something to do
3 with wine that I just have to live with, or could it be connected to other
4 things on my system, such as the xserver?
5
6 The app in question is scribe, a database manager for historians created in
7 filemaker pro v.8. None of the problems I am having with it occur when I use
8 the wine/reactos notepad (the only other wine application I could locate
9 easily that involves typing).
10
11 The problems are:
12
13 1. Typed text gets to the screen pretty slowly - 200 characters per second or
14 so. However pasted text appears more or less instantly.
15
16 2. Windows are drawn very slowly - which is pretty annoying because scribe
17 opens and shuts a lot of windows.
18
19 3. when scribe starts, a considerable part of the screen (both inside and
20 outside the application windows) ends up covered in black rectangles. These
21 disappear when something is dragged over them or a button underneath them is
22 clicked.
23
24 4. There is a slowdown in opengl which persists even when scribe and all
25 wine-related processes have terminated. Before starting scribe glxgears will
26 clock around 960 fps, whereas afterwards it will only clock up 750 fps or so.

29 I am using the following versions of things:
30 x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.99.15-r4
31 app-emulation/wine-0.9.8-r1
32 x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.22.5
