Re: nvidia driver strangeness

[Brad Alexander <storm16@gmail.com>]

Hi Bob,

It does sound like my problem. As I said, I rolled back to the earlier version, and the only thing not working is wine. When starting an app in wine (either playonlinux or straight wine), I get:

[POL_Wine] Message: Running wine- /home/storm/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/starcraft2/drive_c/Program Files/StarCraft II/StarCraft II.exe

err:virtual:map_image failed to set 60000020 protection on section .text, noexec filesystem?
wine: Unhandled page fault on execute access to 0x004be98c at address 0x4be98c (thread 0009), starting debugger...

I haven't had time to review my last upgrade to see what might have triggered this, but I'm hoping someone may have seen it... Hopefully, I'll have time to look into this more tonight.

Regards,
--b

Read through this bug and see if it is your problem:

A friend of mine was hit with that problem yesterday.  I am thinking
that you are getting hit by it too.
