Ok I've searched and searched, and tried a few options, but I just can't get it to work. I'm running Intrepid on AMD64 with a geforce 7600gt. I've got the proprietary(version 177) nvidia drivers running at a fullscreen resolution of 1680x1050. Basically, when I begin the wow load(either from the CLI or from the desktop link), the screen immediately resizes to something ridiculous like 640x480(i cant really tell, just gets huge), and the intro video starts playing. i've tried letting it play through and i've tried hitting escape to bypass, neither works. then it pops up with the new EULA, still in 640x480(ish), scroll down, "accept" lights up, and i cant click it. i cant hit decline, either, but i dont want to. it's almost like there's a box around them, and the mouse wont go. I can't tab into it, and I have no idea how to get around it. I just(finally) installed wrath, and I'd like to get back to playing again. Any help is much appreciated =D

Ok, I've fixed the EULA problem, in a manner of speaking, by tweaking the wine settings to allow me to move past that. And of course I have more problems. I get to the login screen, everything looks normal, put in my info, and it gets stuck at "Authenticating". Dragon's still flying, music's still going, so it's not frozen, just not going anywhere. Any ideas?
