Java crashes in wined3d.dll

[RickJones]

I'm trying to run a Java program in Wine on 2 different machines, and on one it crashes when it tries to draw the main window. The crash is in native code called from wined3d.dll.

I'm not sure why it needs to use wined3d as it's just displaying an ordinary workaday application window, nothing fancy, but it seems that awt.dll calls d3d9.dll anyway, which then calls wined3d.

The machine it fails on uses an Nvidia graphics card (5200 GPU), the one that works uses Intel graphics (Asus Eee netbook). I've tried disabling the Nvidia accelerated driver and it makes no difference.

I'm running Wine 1.1.16 on Ubunto 8.10. Is this a known problem, are there any workrounds?

(of course being a Java program it shouldn't really be necessary to use Wine, but currently it's only available as a Windows build - shame)

TIA, Rick

I am running into the same problem, using Wined3d on virtualbox and Java 1.6.0_14.

Does anyone know if other versions (of wined3d or java) work?

appreciate it!

cheers,

Try disabling ddraw in java (google for the command line option that does that).

I eventually solved it just by disabling the d3d9 library in Wine config. As the app isn't actually using 3d it's not a problem.

I got the tip somewhere else - can't remember where now!. Sorry, should have posted the solution before.

Well I believe java is actually using d3d9 for faster 2D drawing. By hiding d3d9 I guess it falls back to 'software' rendering or at least less acceleration.

i came to the same conclusion after perusing the bugzilla a bit.

thanks all. cheers.
