Wine fails to recognize my video card

Post by SolarSystem »

Pretty much the same issue as in this thread here:
http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=13976
Not willing to install from source (and all the hassle of getting all proper dev packages)
I have however figured out what needs to be added:

in wine3d/directx.c
static const struct gpu_description gpu_description_table[] =
+{HW_VENDOR_NVIDIA, CARD_NVIDIA_GEFORCE_GT425M, "NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M", DRIVER_NVIDIA_GEFORCE6, 1024},

static enum wined3d_pci_device select_card_nvidia_binary....
+{"GT 425M", CARD_NVIDIA_GEFORCE_GT425M}, /* Geforce 400 - midend mobile */

in wine3d_private.h
under enum wined3d_pci_device
+CARD_NVIDIA_GEFORCE_GT425M = 0x0df0,


01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 425M] [10de:0df0] (rev a1)
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GT 425M/PCIe/SSE2

Just to quickly point out: I'm simply requesting that someone create and submit a proper patch with above info so that my card is supported in a future update.

You should file a bug report. Most developers are not following this list, at least not closely. Filing a bug is the best way to gain the wine devs' attention.
