[luau] WineX rocks

[The penguin]

yes I do have a nvidia card.
I have another question. when I compile my own kernel with AGP
(new for XF4.1.0) or the old one my linux machine can't go into init 5 for X.
Also wine doesn't
start.  if anyone has anyidea on what is wrong please reply.
I use redhat 7.2 kernel version
(2.4.7-10 and 2.4.9-31),PII 866,and nvidia GeForce2 MX.
