Warcraft and weird graphics issues

I play world of warcraft every night, or almost, under Wine with Fedora 10 (hardware: ASUS M51VA - ATI 3640).
It works great, and I get more FPS than I do under native windows.

However when I tried it tonight, things behaved differently:
1) The blank window that appears when the game is loading was a corrupt display (garbage characters) tonight.
2) When the game finally loaded and the login screen came up, everything looked OK, except the mouse pointer in the game was strangely sluggish - it would overshoot, and act like it was "drunk".
3) After login the game play would flicker a lot (many times per second), although the FPS appears still quite high.

The game had worked great for several months, ever since I had followed the thread
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=155503

I just tried to re-apply that fix, hoping it would help, but nothing changed, the game still flickers a lot.

I am guessing that the updater did something to my Warcraft. But I am not sure what to do..

Help.. Thanks!

Attached: Here is what wine says while the game is loading:

I think this is cause by the recent update of xorg-x11-server-Xorg,
that update will overwrite /etc/X11/xorg.conf and remove
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/fglrx"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
from /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the section
Section "Files"

EndSection

I put those lines back and problem seem to be solved.

Brilliant!
I don't know how you came up with this solution but it worked great.
Thank you so much.. Indeed, my "Files" section had become empty!
Why on earth did an update cause this, I'll never understand.
