rh9 / wine question

OK, so from what I've read I can produce more on my linux box with wine and the windows client than I can with the native client, which I had been running till now.

I got the wine rpm installed, and kicked off the 3.24 windows console client, but I notice that if I ctrl-c to quit the client, wine seems to hear it first and just dumps the whole process. After that, when I restart I get "improper termination" and I lose 3dnow optimizations.

I know what you're going to say: flags flags flags. This box hard locks on sse, so I have to run *just* the -advmethods flag. If I use -forceasm, I use sse instead of 3dnow, and I'm eventually bumming. Ironically, this is the only way to force optimizations on. When Stanford changed the purpose of the -forceasm flag to add the purpose of toggling sse and 3dnow, I wondered to myself why, as it seemed limiting somehow. Now I am living it...

How can I:

a) pass the ctrl-c on to the fah client, instead of wine
b) force 3dnow on, not sse

Fold on

The sse optimization seems to work better for the amd's. I would recommend using the flags and the 3.25 version as it fixes some probs with the 3.24 client

Edit: see this thread http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=194267

Thanks for the advice. I tried the 3.25 beta before with the 1.48 core and it still locks. I agree sse kicks butt compared to 3dnow, but I just can't seem to keep it from locking my 2 2400+ boxes up. That's why my new box is a pally 1900+. I can let sse rip on that one and it does just fine.

I tore my hair out for a week on this one. Until I see a new core from Stanford, I need to figure out how to force 3dnow only.

Edit: AFAIK, the 3.25 beta fixed the issue where forceasm would only cause sse to be used on amd for the first wu, and subsequent would use 3dnow. It didn't address the stabilty issue per se.

did you delete the 78 core. That was one o fthe requirements for the fix to work, the updated core

Yup. The whole deal. I just ran the 325 exe with the flags in an empty folder.
