Politely asking for Wine configuration Help

I'm am politely and desperatly asking for detailed help on comfigureing my Second Life to work on my wine program...I have no clue as to what im doing or need to do so it will need to be step by step instructions pls. I can no longer handle playing secondlife with out sound its driveng me bonkers ) lol

I'm going to try to figure this out as well, though for me the issue is the clipboard not sound. I actually haven't run Wine before. What worries me a little is directory structure. Where is SL going to muck with my filesystem? I'm trying to muck my way through documentation now, but while there is a lot of information (http://www.winehq.com) I find none of the useful stuff is at the forefront.

Right. So now I have it installed, and after dumping a CRAPLOAD of stuff to the terminal ('INFO' messages 'WARNINGS', and 'fixme's), it tells me it cannot find DirectX 9 and asks if I want to continue. I click yes, and it seems to be using over 90% of my processor but never brings ANYTHING up on the screen. Yeah.

EDIT: Ah good. It finally crashed. **sigh**

Ah. Okay. Maybe this will help: /263/76/123084/1.html

That did it! I can PASTE! Woo hoo! I hear some sound too, though it is pretty screwed up. Heh.
