hm, ok, i checked system.reg if there is something in that looks like lfs registration infos, but didn't find anything, but you are right!
just copying over system.reg solves the problem, there must be a single entry which is the reason for that, but who cares anyway, finally it works
THANK YOU!

just to make one thing clear: nobody blames the lfs programmers for that!
it's just a bad situation, that the demo works fine, and if you come to unlocking it, it failes to run, which ofcourse you didn't know at the time you were paying for the key. everyone is aware that this is not the fault of the lfs programmers
the bad support was concerned to cedega. transgaming, the makers of cedega, tell you get free support if you buy cedega, but infact they let the userbase give support. the bad thing there is, that from users that play blockbuster windows games on linux (which is what you need cedega for, older games usually run on wine), you can expect the same as from users that play blockbuster windows games on windows: a pretty low technical knowledge
although i must say, if the lfs programmers just (like others) wrote a registry entry, or patched a binary ala 'now i am unlocked' that problems would not exists, but well, it's the windows world, as a programmer you have to take any step to secure your work, cause it will get pirate copied by all that kiddies out there otherwise.

well, winex, the thing you can check out via cvs for free, is cedega without the 'look-we-can-even-play-games-with-copy-protection-and-thats-what-you-have-to-pay-for' part
*edit*
eeeeek, just tried the actual cvs version of wine, and it shows the axis of the wheel, they still dont work, but at least it detects em, so it looks that we are making big steps onwards a playable LFS on linux, i am looking forward to it

yeah, you're right, windows ocassionally can run software that is written for it. not bad at all 
i bought cedega, i bought it just because of one reason: richard burns rally was reported to run... well, now neither burns rally, nor lfs run, don't expect help from anybody, neither transgaming, nor the userbase, i tried
haha, asking transgaming for support.... you're a funny guy
well, at least you HAVE a windows, i just have paid the money for lfs but can't play it at all, as i dont have windows and will not get one just for lfs, thats for sure
well, i have the same unlocking problems with cedega and the same joypad (wheel) problems with wine.
what works fine with me is the fps on wine. as we both have the same wine version, and i have a pretty slow nvidia card, i guess the problem could be either the display depth (i run it on 16 bit depth), or the sound. wine is pretty picky about the sound device, although it supports a lot, only one works fine for me: OSS with software direct access mode emulation.
maybe this helps with the wine fps

Several probs with LFS on cedega/wine
i tested the demo with cedega on linux and it worked fine. there was a big and ugly deadzone on the wheel, but i registered lfs yesterday
now im somewhere in between...
on cedega, i have that deadzone (which i could live with if there is no way around), but as soon as i try to unlock, i just get a message similar to 'unlocking failed'.
is there a way to check out whats the reason why it failed? i can join online races, so net seems to work
on wine unlocking works, but the wheel is not detected. it works with gpl and nascar 2003, but not with lfs, the debug output (of wine i guess) says something like 'joystick detected on /dev/input/event2', but its not detected within LFS. If i click on the axis/ff button, there are just 2 axis detected: mouse-x and mouse-y. could it be, that lfs always just takes joystick number 1? and how can i change this, if so
can i somehow unlock lfs in cedega by taking some lines from the registry files of wine over to cedega?
thanx for any help
