Comment 14 for bug 332100

I'm not sure how many people my case affects but its not just running wine applications that is a problem. It seems that this bug might be related to a bigger one regarding changing resolutions in general. I have a "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device" (still using Jaunty) and I get undesired behavior when I change resolutions in two different cases.

First case: If I have no acceleration enabled (in my xorg.conf), when I change resolutions (from my native 1280x768 to something else) I just get a black screen. I know applications are still running because I can hear sounds and still use keyboard shortcuts. I read on some other posts that what I'm experiencing is X unable to "sync" or "vsync". This is also true for wine applications.

Second case: If I do have acceleration enabled (UXA), then when I change resolutions, X crashes and I'm brought back to the log in screen. Thus my crash might not have anything to do with wine applications.

Like I said, this is the behavior I experience on my computer, and I wonder how many other people experience the same behavior.

Hope I was able to shed some light on the bug. A fix for this would be much appreciated!
