How to disable 3D acceleration

Post by J3PP3 »

Hi, i'm trying to istall Ikea home planner, but the planning screen shows only black. In some other forum i found a guy who turned 3d acceleration off in VirtualBox and by doing so it solved the problem. That's why i want to give it a try, by diabling 3d acceleration in wine, but don't know how or where i can do it.

I know i can just go for VirtualBox, but i don't own any windows....... :cry:

IIRC, you can set 'wined3d' in winecfg to disabled.

winecfg lets you disable/enable vertex shader and pixel shader support, but it doesn't provide an option to disable WineD3D itself.

Add it as a library (dll) and set to disabled.

VirtualBox and Wine aren't quite the same, the VirtualBox app might have had real Windows rendering methods to fall back on that aren't quite (well) implemented in Wine. The next step is to post terminal output and your system specs so the devs could do something about it.

yeah, i know they are two totaly different programs, but as i said before, i don't have any copies of window OS, that's why i wanted to try with wine.

Anyway, i borrowed a netbook from a friend of mine, and the problem is not solved, sort of.
I fairly new to ubuntu, how can i view the terminal output?
