The only sollution is to ... go back to 8.10, updates that wanted to apply after clean install of 9.04 do not solve these problems.
That's why all my wine-based gaming is done through my always faithfull FreeBSD 7.0 x86, I get good framerates and I know it won't break on the next updates. For the rest of my daily work I rely on M$-Linux 11.2m3 gnome and it's not done any weird thing so far.
