Description Aniruddha 2008-08-10 05:13:31 UTC

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?

Great, I wonder why I have filed this bug in the first place as no one has taken the courtesy to reply on it when it was still an issue.
