Description eli 2009-10-22 07:44:16 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Been playing a full screen game under wine quiet frequently. The problem is that the game freezes after awhile. Checked to make sure there wasn't some problem game resolution. The game froze at any resolution that I used. Then I checked if the freeze was caused by an update to the video driver so I reverted back to an older version of the driver which I know that the game played without freezing. But, unfortunately the game froze again. So I completely switched off kde desktop effects (compositing) and no more freezes.
