Drawing problem in Wine 1.3.0

Andrew J. Barr · Post by **Andrew J. Barr** » Mon Aug 09, 2010 2:42 pm

Hi, I'm having a problem with black boxes and black widgets appearing in
Wine programs. See these two screenshots[0], [1] for examples. One
program is a Windows application, but the other is Winecfg. Any clues
what is wrong here? This is Wine 1.3.0 compiled on Debian squeeze.

Thanks,
Andrew Barr

Most likely bad video drivers and/or conflicts with 3D desktop effects. Try reinstalling video drivers (don't forget 32-bit part if your distro is 64-bit). And disable 3d desktop effects.

Sad to say, but get an nVidia video card. Intel cards and drivers do
not work well with Wine.

I found out that the only wine version that doesn't have the drawing problem is the 1.0.x

Everything is fixed when I downgraded.

I know intel video cards are sucks, but on Lucid wine 1.3 just worked fine.

Time for a regression test then to find out what update broke the
ability to do this. It is very frustrating that one Linux distribution
works and another does not.

Hi, I can confirm this bug on openSUSE 11.3 and Ubuntu 10.10 with Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics, using anything newer than Wine 1.0. It renders my most important programs totally useless. Is there a workaround for this perchance?
Thanks!

This is a known bug in the intel drivers

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30157

And was also reported and close as invalid in Wine

It's been fixed in the latest Intel driver. Upgrade.
