Fullscreen Programs Always Crash, but Windowed Programs Don't

[wineryguy]

Hello,

I am using wine-8.0 (Debian 8.0~repack-4) with Debian 12. I have a problem that all programs crash while launching fullscreen. If I can manage to get a program to launch windowed, I have no issues. I have tested this across many different programs and get the same behavior. I am aware than I can use a virtual desktop to remedy the problem, but I would prefer true fullscreen if possible.

With MOST programs I get this error when trying to run fullscreen:

free(): invalid pointer
0024:err:seh:NtRaiseException Exception frame is not in stack limits => unable to dispatch exception.

However occasionally programs will give an error that looks something like this:

free(): invalid pointer
wine: Assertion failed at address F7F41549 (thread 0024), starting debugger...
Unhandled exception: 0x00610062 in 32-bit code (0x00000000).
Register dump:
...

I have tried using different versions of Wine, including Wine-staging and downgraded versions. I encounter the same problem no matter what I try. When using Debian 11, I never had this problem. I am using X11 with IceWM, which I used previously as well and had no problems like this.

Anyone know what might be going on here?

Does it make a difference if you use a different version of your video card driver?
You could try to install a version from testing (trixie) or unstable (sid)
(and if you have a Nvidia GPU, experimental)

I'm using Intel Iris 6100 integrated graphics with the i915 driver on Linux kernel 6.1. Using only the stable repo, I currently have two packages installed relating to my drivers:

firmware-misc-nonfree
xserver-xorg-video-intel

Xorg appears to NOT be using "xserver-xorg-video-intel" but is using the built-in modesetting driver instead.

When I sourced the testing and unstable repos, I found there was an upgraded version of "firmware-misc-nonfree" in the testing repo, however using the testing repo requires me to upgrade about 1200 other packages as well. I am not interested in using all of the testing packages generally just to try one. Is there a workaround to this problem?

[jkfloris]

I don't expect updating the firmware will change much for the Iris 6100 GPU.

Does Wine from WineHQ have the same problems?

[wineryguy]

I just tried the WineHQ-stable and WineHQ-staging packages and both have the same fullscreen issue. The error messages are the same as well.

Did you install all the recommended packages when you installed Wine?
Make sure libxrandr2:{amd64,i386} and libxxf86vm1:{amd64,i386} are installed.

Code: Select all

apt policy libxxf86vm1:{amd64,i386} libxrandr2:{amd64,i386}

If these packages are already installed, can you give an example of a program that has problems?

[wineryguy]

Looks like I was missing the package "libxrandr2:i386"

This fixed all of the fullscreen issues I've been having. Everything works now. Thanks for the help!!
