Odd display problem for 0.9.59/60

ianpwelch · Post by **ianpwelch** » Sat Apr 26, 2008 1:46 pm

I came across a problem after updating to 0.9.59 and it appears to have continued to 0.9.60.

I started with gutsy, ATI 9600 with the fglrx drivers, direct rendering working as with the games i wanted (CNC3, Champ Man...) in 0.9.58 however on upgrading to .9.59 software installs and winecfg both display properly, However on running the games i get a fuzzy display a bit like a tv half tuned in to something but with heavy interference, I cant see any of the game display just the fuzzyness.

So i did a clean install of hardy installed all

sudo apt-get build-dep wine wine-dev

re-installed the ati drivers so fglrxinfo returns;

display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI RADEON 9600 Series
OpenGL version string: 2.1.7415 Release

reinstalled wine from the package manager (0.9.60) and i get the same problem.

However 0.9.58 which i have compiled for Cnc with the cursor and lan patches runs my games fine. I then tried compiling 0.9.60 in the same way (no errors found during the process) and again it shows the fuzzy screen. The strange thing is there are no error messages produced in the terminal that differ from the usual ones i get in the working wine.

How would i find out what the problem is and subsequently fix it?

Any help would be appreciated.

I have similar problem. since wine 0.9.59 all games wich requires directx displays black screen (simcity 4, Gothic I, Gothic II, and few more).

My hardware:
AMD Turion 2Ghz

ATI Radeon XPress X1100
(display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon Xpress Series
OpenGL version string: 2.1.7412 Release)

768MB ram
Ubuntu gutsy/hardy

the exact same problem:

Wine 0.9.60
Suse 10.3
ATI X1900
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon Xpress Series
OpenGL version string: 2.1.7412 Release)
all seems to work just that the screen is black with static

Could you attach a picture? Does it work with an earlier wine version? If so, which? If all your games run with the earlier version then you can run a regression test http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting .

I can easly reproduce it with 3DMark, so am doing git between version 0.9.58 and 0.9.59. Compiling goes slow (am on 2nd compile, 132 left).

am new to all this so hope I do it right but the instruction page is pretty clear.

edit: might take a bit longer, getting error on 2nd compile run:

any GIT guru have an solution for the compile error ?

I know it can either be good or bad (the result of the 132 compile) so I went both ways, going bad way (so error is between 0 and 66) gives me another compile error when 8 left. going good (so error is bewteen 66 and 132) gives me another compile error when 16 left)

would be better if I could compile without guessing the answers to narrow it down

the above one, but let me re-cap:

git bisect start
git bisect good wine-0.9.58
git bisect bad wine-0.9.59

gives me a 265 mark

CC="ccache gcc" ./configure --verbose && make clean && make

works fine.

I test my application (3Dmark works fine as its directx) and get a bad result

git bisect bad

gives me a 132 mark

CC="ccache gcc" ./configure --verbose && make clean && make

returns below error.

/home/akm/wine-git/dlls/mscms/mscms_main.c:49: undefined reference to `free_handle_tables'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
winegcc: ccache failed
make[2]: *** [mscms.dll.so] Error 2

make[1]: *** [mscms] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/akm/wine-git/dlls'
make: *** [dlls] Error 2

So as I posted I can either go good or bad on this mark, if I go bad I get another one (diffrent one) once I narrow it down to 8 marks. If I go good I get another one (diffrent one) once I narrow it down to 16 marks.

This is a bit of a tricky situation...best thing to do is:

quick question:

if I do:
git bisect reset
CC="ccache gcc" ./configure --verbose && make clean && make

I am compiling the latest build right ?

Are you doing git bisects?

This may make it faster. Also, are you using ccache?

No...that will give HEAD, which is the whatever you had git set to
before telling it to bisect.

$ git bisect reset ; git reset origin

will give you the latest git you have downloaded. Run:

$ git fetch ; git rebase origin

    wined3d: Fragment processing using GL_ATI_fragment_shader.
    
    This adds code for handling fixed function fragment processing with the
    GL_ATI_fragment_shader extension. This is a sort-of programmable
    interface for fragment processing at the level of shader model 1.4 in
    d3d. This code is of use on r200, r250 and r280 cards(radeon 8500 to
    9200) which do not support GL_ARB_fragment_program, but support pixel
    shader 1.4 on Windows. This code is somewhat a counterpart to the
    existing fragment processing code using GL_NV_register_combiners and
    GL_NV_texture_shader.

So is it still doesn't work for you with wine-0.9.61?

in 0.9.61 this problem vanished. Thanks
