With intel 965 graphics, wine tests hardware in a way, that makes the graphics driver crash. See #13492 on bugs.freedesktop.org. This is fixed in git, and I have tested included patch on mesa-7.0.2. It fixes the crash. I now mesa-7.0.3 is coming out anytime soon, but this isn't fixed in 7.0 tree of mesa, just in master. The crash happens with 3d applications only, and it doesn't leave system in unusable state. Just wine crashes. I haven't tried if mesa-6.5.2-r1 is affected or not. Tested with: xf86-video-i810-2.2.1 mesa-7.0.2 wine-0.9.56 Operation Flashpoint Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. With i965 hardware, run a 3d application such as OFP 2. 3. Actual Results: Wine crashes with backtrace. Expected Results: Application running.
