Weird OpenGL problems

[jho]

Hi,

I have been a happy Wine user for a few years now, but only recently moved from x86 to amd64, and I think that is the source of my current problems with Wine.

I'm able to run native OpenGL applications just fine. Examples of what I've tried are Quake 3, Blender, and Kobo Deluxe.

Wine also works normally just fine. I'm able to install applications, run notepad, regedit, et cetera. But when I try to run any application that needs direct rendering Wine spits out loads of warnings/errors about OpenGL stuff and either crashes or runs the application but has horrible performance and *lots* of graphics artifacts.

Firstly I tried running Half-Life 2. It starts up with a few warnings and shows the two intro demos and the loading screen for maybe two seconds, and then crashes. Here's the output of trying to run it (with -dxlevel 80, as suggested in the AppDB page): http://pastebin.com/f1a63c2d0

Second app I tried was Soldat, which is rated as platinum on the AppDB and should run "out of the box". It starts up but has major artifacts and runs at maybe two frames per second. Here's the output of it (ca. 1600 lines): http://pastebin.com/d370f271e

I'm running an amd64 Gentoo box with a dual core 3 GHz Intel Pentium D, two gigs of RAM and an integrated Intel 965Q with xf86-video-intel-2.6.99 and xorg-server-1.5.3-r5. Wine is version 1.1.20 (and is built with OpenGL support). Here's some information about my system:

I don't exactly know what's wrong, but doesn't Wine run in some kind of emulated x86 environment? Could it be that there's something wrong with it? How would I go about solving it?

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance. :)

The Wine output would be helpful to begin with.

The Wine output would be helpful to begin with.

They can be found from the pastebin links I posted. The first one was ~350 lines and the second one a bit over 1600 lines, so I thought it would be better to just give a link to pastebin instead of pasting the text directly.

Have you disabled pulseaudio and in-game steam community?

If nothing works - say thanks to your intel video. Get a real stuff, like Nvidia card. They proven to work.

[Daemon]

A little off-topic but just read a good article on h-online about Xorg , Intel drivers and the various kernel mode settings/gem which might provide some insight not just for Ubu. Here.

The xorg-server-1.5.3-r5 looks old , 6 months to be exact. Xserver 1.6.1 is the current Here and the 2.6.99.902 intel driver is over 2 months old. Newer version 2.7.99.1 is available Here. Might want to do -dxlevel 81 also for hl2.

p.s. If you're going to build Xorg/xserver/xlibs yourself, use JHbuild if they're not available through the Gentoo package system.

I don't use Pulseaudio at all and it's not even installed. I have disabled the Steam community, and even if I hadn't, it wouldn't explain why Soldat or other games don't work.

Generally speaking I've had a lot more success with this Intel card than what I've had with my old Nvidia card.. And don't even get me started with the clusterfuck that it ATI drivers.

Also, this is a Dell OptiPlex workstation which doesn't have AGP or PCI-E slots, so I'd have to go with this integrated or some old PCI card. And, unlike some, I can't afford to buy new hardware every so often, I'm just a poor student.

Thanks for the tip. I'm actually using GEM and UXA right now. However I couldn't get KMS to work (X was unbearably slow and crashed within moments of starting), but that's another issue altogether. I was adviced to try again with 2.6.30, and that's what I'm going to do as soon as there's the first release of .30 with genpatches.

The xorg-server-1.5.3-r5 looks old , 6 months to be exact. Xserver 1.6.1 is the current Here and the 2.6.99.902 intel driver is over 2 months old. Newer version 2.7.99.1 is available Here.

Thanks, I'll try them later tonight or tomorrow.

Might want to do -dxlevel 81 also for hl2.

I've tried different values for dxlevel (70, 80, 81, 90), and none of them work.

Yes, I am sure. GT8800 is a lot faster card, but the 965Q has been enough for me.
And glxgears is *not* a benchmark. I have seen worse cards do bigger FPS and better cards do worse.

I get 40-60 FPS on Quake3 running at 1024x768 with quality options set to medium/high, I don't think that would happen without direct rendering.

[jho]

Ok, I upgraded to xorg-server-1.6.1 and the current git version of xf86-video-intel.

Everything seems to work normally, but my glxgears fps went down by 200 (no big deal really, I know it happens, it's not a benchmark, etc, just thought it would be worth a mention), and wine outputs less of the warnings/errors. But Wine still fails to run anything that requires direct rendering correctly. All the native applications still run fine and get good performance.

Here's the output of HL2 now (still crashes after a second or two in the loading screen): http://pastebin.com/d41a4d718
And here's Soldat: http://pastebin.com/d15e2fb40 (notice how this went from ~1600 lines to just 92 lines. I did the exactly same thing: started the game, entered a match, opened the main menu and pressed exit)

And glxgears is *not* a benchmark. I have seen worse cards do bigger FPS and better cards do worse.

No it's not a benchmark but something to give an ballpark idea where you at. I think I had better numbers with mx440 & K7 CPU... Given that was some 5 years ago.

So me thinks a difference of 2730% indicates something really wrong with your config / drivers.

Wine touches big parts of opengl drivers which 'normal' apps don't touch and we use most recent 3d features. The intel drivers are still very young and don't support various of the modern gl features well (e.g. poor glsl support for shaders, and so on). The issues you are seeing are a result of the driver quality. A game like quake3 is too basic compared to what Wine all touches even for simple apps. In case of soldat the use of RenderTargetLockMode=readtex could help a bit (if the game is using 3d stuff behind its back since glDrawPixels/glReadPixels performance is very poor on intel).

Ok, I upgraded to xorg-server-1.6.1 and the current git version of
xf86-video-intel.

Everything seems to work normally, but my glxgears fps went down by 200 (no
big deal really, I know it happens, it's not a benchmark, etc, just thought
it would be worth a mention), and wine outputs less of the warnings/errors.
But Wine still fails to run anything that requires direct rendering
correctly. All the native applications still run fine and get good
performance.

Here's the output of HL2 now (still crashes after a second or two in the
loading screen): http://pastebin.com/d41a4d718
And here's Soldat: http://pastebin.com/d15e2fb40 (notice how this went
from ~1600 lines to just 92 lines. I did the exactly same thing: started the
game, entered a match, opened the main menu and pressed exit)

Try setting GLSL to "disabled" (http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys),
if that doesn't help, try turning off pixel shaders in winecfg - PS are
cause of most crashes and graphical corruption as far as I'm aware of. Also
even if you use -dxlevel 7.0 wine itself will still try to use PS for some
things (in Operation Flashpoint (game written in DX7) for example – wine
draw fog using PS – probably other things too)

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately nothing helped, so I guess it's the Intel driver's fault then. Oh well. They have been making great progress with it lately anyways, so I'm crossing my fingers and hope it gets better soon. :)

Thanks for the help to all of you. :)

Remember you're using the 32-bit driver version with wine , so you might have to build the 32-bit version of the mesa 3D driver , if such a thing is possible or necessary. Beyond that maybe try out Ubuntu x64 (shameless plug) which does a good job keeping up with the latest software packages.
