Unfortunately older games often have issues.
I was trying to fix Capitalism Lab for a while, but still couldn't manage it.
It only redraws the rectangle around the cursor rather than the whole screen, it must be something to do with the clipper in DirectDraw and that conversion to framebuffer objects in OpenGL.
Yep, I just downloaded a copy and tried it out and it's definitely a weird one. Old games are quite hit and miss, even on windows. Oftentimes, linux will run older games better with its array of compatibility tools, but you can still get unlucky and come across some game programmed via punchcards and duck sounds.
