Does WINE work well with radeon drivers for D3D games?

[whizse]

Intel support for Wine is spotty at best. I have filed quite a few bugs. Some are specific to the i965 driver (such as Portal being broken) others seems to be specific to Mesa as a whole.

I doubt Wine (and gaming in general) is a priority for the Intel developers at the moment. But given time, I hope things will improve.

i test some of my games no directX game work for me on the radeon opensource driver.

it always tells me that i need to install the directX9 sdk but i do have install all dx stuff.

i think openGL3.2 is needed by wine.

Nope. Either the games you're trying to run isn't well supported, or you're Doing Something Wrong™.

sure something wrong.. But what?

OFP for example:

wine ./FlashpointPreferences.exe'
err:wgl:has_opengl Failed to load libGL: libGL.so.1
err:wgl:has_opengl OpenGL support is disabled.
err:d3d_caps:WineD3D_CreateFakeGLContext Can't find a suitable iPixelFormat.
err:d3d:InitAdapters Failed to get a gl context for default adapter
Direct3D8 is not available without OpenGL.

why there is no libGL.so.1 ?

ok now i installed the 32bit libgl but now i get software rendering:

wine./FlashpointPreferences.exe
err:winediag:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo The Mesa OpenGL driver is using software rendering, most likely your OpenGL drivers haven't been installed correctly (using GL renderer "Mesa X11", version "2.1 Mesa 7.12-devel (git-2175634 oneiric-oibaf-ppa)").

fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f3f4,0x00000000), stub!
err:d3d:context_choose_pixel_format Can't find a suitable iPixelFormat

edit: ok now i find the missing pieces:

wine ./FlashpointPreferences.exe'
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f5e4,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f608,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f3f4,0x00000000), stub!

Edit: ok to ground textures:
"fixme:d3d:swapchain_init The application requested more than one back buffer, this is not properly supported.
Please configure the application to use double buffering (1 back buffer) if possible.
fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x28.

fixme:d3d:wined3d_buffer_preload Too many declaration changes or converting dynamic buffer, stopping converting
fixme:d3d_draw:drawPrimitive Using software emulation because manual fog coordinates are provided"

I, for one, compile and install mesa/wine inside a 32 bit chroot. This way it's easier to manage and dependencies stay up-to-date (no more waiting for ia32-libs to catch up on debian)

Also regarding the last bit, most games I've been playing around with will crash if 2 monitors are running and in order to work around this, one must be disabled:
$ xrandr --output DVI-1 --off

Also note, the only game I've tried that is playable at all is CS: Source. Every other game experiences its own set of bugs/crashes. However you may have better luck. My sample size is quite low, consisting of all the GTAs and the 2 Halos out for pc

My understanding is that the Intel open source drivers are around GL 1.5 while the ATI open source drivers are "1.3 with nearly all of the 1.4 features". Not sure exactly how that maps into which apps run well on Wine.

I know that this question is stupid and might have been already asked millions of time, why don't you just focus in get openGL3.x support instead of going version 1.0 up to 3.3? R600 do support openLG3.3, right?

LOL, this is a topic dated 2008
Anyway we almost reached OpenGL 3.0 now

Each new GL level require most or all of the functionality from preceding levels. There are a couple of exceptions where a new level deprecates older functionality, but so far in each of those cases the older functionality is required for popular apps anyways.

I really don't know about specific titles, but games does overall work quite well with Mesa. This one though, is quite badly supported in Wine in general, so no surprise really:

You are much better off seeking support in Wine forums/mailing lists rather than jumping to conclusions.
