Recently got Linux (Ubuntu 7.10) on my new laptop, and I thought I'd take a few windows based games along. Downloaded and installed WINE, and then proceeded to install one of these games: Blue Wish Resurrection Plus (bullet hell freeware shmup).
Now everything seems to be going smoothly, but when I play the game it runs way the hell too fast. I did a bit of research and tried the following:
nvidia-settings (I have a nVidia graphics card) and activating "Sync to vBlank" (didn't do anything)
and taskset -c 1 wine <executable>, which had some effect: the game slowed down, except now the FPS fluctuates wildly, anywhere from 13 to 49, and the game is unplayable.
Anyone think of anything else I might do to get this game functioning? (Keep in mind I'm something of a Linux n00b, so keep answers simple please

).
