ati-drivers-8.501 has a known bug that makes it impossible to start wine(programs), I know it's an upstream bug, however setting opengl to 'xorg-x11' works as a temporary workaround. Maybe it's an idea to notify users when emerging ati-drivers-8.501? More info: http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10940 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.501 2.Start wine 3.Reset X
P.S. This bug is absent with: =<ati-drivers 8.493
Created attachment 162603 [details, diff] Patch for ati-drivers-8.501.ebuild Patch to add an extra ewarn line to ati-drivers-8.501.ebuild
Same problem with app-emulation/wine-1.1.3 and x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.522.
Fixed Upstream
