well i managed to get steam to run even smoother.

I even got scroll bars to come up in the steam window, which has been a major issue with most wine builds running steam.

The trick was to disable OpenGL now the only problem is again the same issue. Wont install the games.

Im getting this in my log.

-------------
err:d3d:WineD3D_CreateFakeGLContext Can't find a suitable iPixelFormat
err:d3d:InitAdapters Failed to get a gl context for default adapter
err:wine_d3d:WineDirect3DCreate Direct3D9 is not available without opengl
-------------

any ideas?
Hi. Well the second error is obviously because of disabling opengl. What wine build are you using? how did you install it? (yum, aptitude, apt, self-compile?)

I use steam with my built version (directly from GIT) of wine and it works pefectly with steam. ALso using a native riched and the other requested dll's with winetricks worked pefect, heck, I installed all my games from steam, but I'm on Linux and I'm really not into MacOSX.

But I think that error is related to gfx stuff as I had similiar stuff with a game before.

Try steam with native COM with winetricks (MSDOM) but I don't think it'll work as steam tends to crash using it, still it is a good try and it would throw ole errors away (i think).

By the way, can you chat in steam? It's the only thing I can not always do.

Disable steam-community-ingame.

The scrollbars issue is odd and I think probably indicates a gfx problem (but are you talking about steam-like bars or theme-like bars?)

Thanks for the input Jorl17 ill give it a try.

recently i deleted the post you quoted because i re-enabled the OpenGL, and discovered that with the Performance Data helper PDH.dll i was able to get the scrollbars to work with OpenGL hovever only the arrows on the steam scrollbars work if you grab the slider it freaks out, but at least I can still scroll.

The new error im getting is similar to the original one in the first post:

X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 129 (Apple-DRI)
Minor opcode of failed request: 2 ()
Value in failed request: 0x22c9b9
Serial number of failed request: 680774
Current serial number in output stream: 680774

---------

I have a sneaky suspicion this is a problem with X11 and not wine.

You are quite correct in your suspicstions that X11 is responsible.
Apple's X11 does not support OpenGL 1.3 /3. This may be why you are
unable to run Steam.

However, I do have a quesion: Which Darwine are you using and which
release?

XQuartz may support OpenGL 1.3 in the 2.4 release, if not earlier. It
is not supported in 2.3.1.

Ill try your suggestions, and get back to you.

Vitamin:

It was a very old message. It appears that the problem was with X11 and
not with Wine. MacOSX's X11 is way behind on OpenGL support and 2.3.2
beta 2 is now out. I will have to check if it will support OpenGL
1.3/3.0 commands.
