Could you please be a little more specific in your responses so that we can help troubleshoot your problems. For example:
What error message did checkinstall produce?
What were you able to do with wine? How were you able to confirm that wine works?
/
When i said Wine works, it was loading the setup screen for video/audio , drives and etc.
/
In what way does AO not work? Does the initial logon screen fail to come up? Are you able to logon but the game crashes immediately? Does AO come up, but your mouse fails to move the camera?
/AO client would load, i was inputing account name and pass, press play and the game would crash every time. I didnt keep the error message

If you have successfully installed a recent version of wine, then you probably need to install all some necessary components in order for AO to work. Usually that involves downloading winetricks (
http://winetricks.org/winetricks) and running it with the following command:
winetricks dotnet20 corefonts fontfix ie6 vcrun2005 vcrun6 vcrun2008
(that's what I usually install in order to get AO, ClickSaver, and AOIS working)

I finally opened the synaptics and even though at the begging couldnt unintall the wine installations (some broken packages or something), finally it happened and through synaptics i reinstalled Wine 1.3.15.
Game runs like before, which is stable but no mouse look.
Win-win situation? Nope , but at least i had my AO back operational. I suck at Linux and commands
