Can't get wii games to play on linux

I've tried New Super Mario Bros, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and Tatsunoco vs Capcom but the games either crash on the loading screen or show a black screen with status: FPS: 0 - VPS: 60 - SPEED 100%.

The weird thing is that wii ware games work (I've finished both Sonic 4 and Castlevania with no issues at all) as well as gamecube games. This issue seem to affect only the wii emulation and I've tested them with both 2.0 and the latest svn.

I've tried every single piece of config, even interpreter mode and it didn't work.
My system specs are on my sig.

Any help?

Maybe it is the dvd emulation? Wii discs are larger in capacity than GC discs. Also note that Wii games work fine under Linux x64.

Nope, not at all.

After a quick search I've discovered that it's related to X11 and dolphin being incompatible to a newer version of libX11 on most distros, it should've been fixed on r6218 but I've just built it and it didn't work either.
The only way to get it to work is downgrading X and that may break my whole xystem =/

I thought the X11 problem affected all games?
