Heavy slowdown and bucking when playing under KDE 4.0.4/4.0.5 !!

I play GTA San Andreas for a few weeks using Wine version 0.9.57/58 and 1.1.0. I used to do this under KDE 3.5.x (at last it was 3.5.9). I'm using Gentoo Linux 2008.0. The game worked fine, after some Wine registry tuning it worked nearly perfect :thumbup:

Now I installed KDE 4.0.4 (near to 3.5.9). GTA San Andreas is still playable, but it isn't very funny playing like that. A heavy slowdown and bucking is occurring while playing. I played with the Wine registry options and with the Nvidia driver options as well. But nothing seems to help. So I updated KDE to 4.0.5. But the problem is still the same. I even tried two different graphic cards. Frist I used a Geforce 7800GTX and now I use 9800GX2. The system should be fast enough to run this game smoothly.

Like I told it worked fine under KDE 3.5.9 and nothing else effected the bucking/slowdown. So I think it must be a bug in the Nvidia driver or it's about KDE 4.0.x. I tried Nvidia driver versions (both x86-64) 173.14.09 and 173.08.

I've also posted a thread about this bug at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.ph…TestingId=17360.

I hope someone can help me solving this problem.I want to move from KDE3.x to KDE4.x completely. But this bug causes me to use the 3.5.9 desktop often instead of using exclusively 4.0.5.

Thanks.
